About ECC: What you will never see on this site

8 November, 2013 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Effective Church Communications you'll never seeIn an effort to give a complete description of Effective Church Communications and what readers and potential members can expect, it's important to share some negatives as well as positives.

On the negative side, I wanted to share what you will NEVER see on this site:

  • Profanity, mild, moderate, or blatant, whether it is considered socially acceptable or not.
  • Examples of shocking inappropriate communications, no matter what the intended "good" purpose might be.
  • Mocking of any church, church communications, or practices.
  • Snarky, snide, oh-so-superior comments about those who don't do what supposed experts say they ought to.

If you are not familiar with church communication sites that allow this kind of material, consider yourself fortunate. If you are, please know that you won't find similar material on this site.

All the comments that come into this site are screened and any that have inappropriate content or an attitude that is rude are deleted. Honest, respectful disagreement is always welcome, as are corrections of errors on the site (and goodness knows I make enough of them). I want this site to be a safe one for anyone who has a question or comment.

I realize, having said these things, I will be immediately be labeled in various negative ways and the little junior high school person who lives inside me (and I think in all our adult-looking bodies) wants to fit in and not be labeled as a self-righteous scold. But the adult in me, who most of the time over-rules the whiny child, remembers that some day I will stand before Jesus and give account of my life. I would rather take the chance of being overly strict with the content of this website than do anything that would be unworthy of my Lord.

For a longer explanation of my thoughts on this topic, please see the post: Do not confuse irreverence for relevancy in church communications
