Terms of Use

Welcome to Justice Seekers! We look forward to hearing your views and voice on the important justice issues that we face as citizens of God's Kingdom.

The Justice Seekers community was created as a means to encourage and support one another in our individual and communal roads toward justice. We ask that you explore your own ideas and those of others in a safe, kind, respectful environment.

Because we are Christians, this forum may look different – and call us to a different kind of interaction – than other online communities. We must ensure that all users agree to the following values, and hold one another accountable to them, in order for Justice Seekers to be a forum for Christ-like, robust dialogue.

Code of Conduct*

I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for every member of the Justice Seekers online community, especially toward those with whom I disagree—even if I feel disrespected by them. (Romans 12:17-21)

I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (Matthew 5:22)

I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (Ephesians 4:29)

I will participate in community accountability by expressing disapproval when the above terms are not met by others - not based on what ideas are expressed, but on how they are expressed. I will alert Meghan Kraley, site administrator, if I find inappropriate content on Justice Seekers. (Proverbs 12:18)
