Only a restricted group of people have permission to administer and post on the site, though all members can submit a post for consideration.
All those posting must keep in mind that the contents of the website reflect on the Church and all its members and thought must be given to what is appropriate to be displayed on all the different levels of the website.
The following are strictly prohibited:
-
advertisements for businesses (unless agreed by the deacons for a specific reason)

endorsements for or against political candidates or causes
-
slanderous speech, libellous statements or personal attacks

any material, whether uploaded or posted to the website at any level, that is offensive, derogatory or critical of any member of St A’s or any of its ministries

blasphemous or heretical speech or topics contradicting the teachings of the Bible, St A’s and the BUGB.
Violators of this policy will receive a written warning and may have their permission to post withdrawn.
