Dialog Box Instructions:

Also feel free to reply to others' comments by using the "reply" button by their post. Dialog and class interaction is encouraged to the level that you would like to be included.
This dialog boxes at the bottom of the lesson pages are a format for discussion, sharing related pertinent information, faith sharing, group feedback and/or online group spiritual direction that is related to the topic being covered. It is a place where people taking the class are welcome to share their insights, questions, and personal realizations and struggles regarding topics brought up in the course contents and get feedback from the moderator and others taking the course. The idea is not only to learn the teachings in the lessons, but also to apply them to our own life, and where applicable to put them into practice.
Privacy: The lesson dialog boxes are for those who have signed up for the course. The web pages for the course are not indexed on the internet. But since there is no guarantee that someone in the class won't share this information with others, please do not put any personally identifying information in your posts to help guarantee confidentiailty. This is so that everyone can feel free to express their thoughts and feelings while remaining anonymous on the internet. Please do not use your full name (first names are OK but not last names), nor real photo, nor any other information like addresses (cities or states are OK) or particular circumstances that allow others to identify you or persons in your life. This will allow confidentiality in sharing.
Images and Nicknames: Please be consistent with your identifying image (if any) and nickname so that people can connect you with your comments. You can add a graphic to represent you by clicking on the avatar photo and uploading it as long as it doesn't give away your identity and is not a personal photo.
Images in posts: If desired, you can also add "images" to your posts which can also be words as long as they are an image file such as a screen shot of a graphic image of a document (jpgs and png files for example), if there is something you'd like to share.
Reply: To reply to what someone else has said, hit the "reply" button under their comment to keep threads together.
Following threads: You can sign up to be notified by email of posts under "Follow".
Moderator: The discussions will be moderated and subject to deletion by the moderator if something is posted that is not in accord with these rules. It goes without saying that nothing offensive or crude language etc. is allowed. Kindness and respect to others is expected, even if expressing different points of view.
Staying on topic: Please try to stay on topic in your comments and not get too far off topic. Thank you.
