COMMENTING AND CITING POLICY
These articles have the express intent of having a positive impact on the lives of emerging leaders. All readers may not agree with every opinion, every series or every topic, however, such disagreement does not give any reader the privilege to be ungracious to any author or reader. Commenting is allowed so that readers can participate positively and so that authors remain accountable. Likewise, commentators must remain accountable for their comments and must participate positively.

Our readers and authors were discouraged by a few commentators who took the privilege of being able to comment and wrote comments less gracious than the very articles they criticized while choosing to remain anonymous and unaccountable. To prevent further discouragement to the readers or the Faith, anonymous comments are no longer allowed and all others comments, except member comments, will be reviewed before being posting.

The management of this site was a bit idealistic in assuming that those emerging leaders wishing to participate would do so in the positive spirit of the hundreds of articles posted to the site. In the beginning, we were also a bit idealistic to maintain a belief that Christian leaders would not mind their successes and trials being shared so that emerging leaders would repeat the successes and avoid the failures.

To prevent further confusion or discouragement of the reader, no actual identities appear in articles on this site without the permission of the person named.  If a person's name appears on the site, they have had the opportunity (if they are still living) to help in the development of any material in which their name appears.  In all other cases, whether at the request of the actual person or persons or at the discretion of management, the names of actual people have been changed.

The stories related in the articles and lessons on this site are true stories.
