We want to foster a safe environment of openness, trust, and support, and the words we use in our messages can help to create such a space; therefore, we present to you the following guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do feel free to share openly and from the heart. Whatever struggles or challenges you may be going through with same-sex attraction, it\u2019s okay to share the particulars of those experiences with the group. At the same time, it\u2019s best not to use explicit details in your sharing if you sense your words might cause someone else to stumble in thought or deed.<\/li>\n<li>We advise Courage members not to refer to themselves or others as \u201cgay\u201d or \u201clesbian\u201d. Oftentimes, these terms have political and moral implications which are not compatible with Catholic teaching and anthropology. The user of the terms \u201cgay\u201d and \u201clesbian\u201d may not intend those implications, but their usage may unwittingly be confusing and misleading to other chat group members. We prefer to use the term \u201cpersons who experience same-sex attraction\u201d. (For more on this, please go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/couragerc.org\/faqs\/\">FAQ section<\/a> of our website.)<\/li>\n<li>If you are now living chastely with someone with whom you used to be sexually involved, it\u2019s certainly okay to talk about this in the chat group. We do ask, however, that you please not refer to that person as your \u201cpartner\u201d in your posts. That terminology may be misleading to a new person who joins the group and doesn\u2019t realize that you are now striving to live chastely. It\u2019s okay to refer to that person as your housemate, or friend instead of using the term \u201cpartner\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>The main purpose of the chat groups is for Courage members to help each other to live in accordance with <a href=\"https:\/\/couragerc.org\/resource\/5-goals-courage\/\">the five goals<\/a>. Please keep this in mind as you participate in the various discussion threads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Thank you for joining us!<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Please keep the Courage apostolate and all its members and friends in your prayers.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;765992&#8243;] Courage Chat Group Posting Guidelines The following are some general guidelines to assist you when posting messages<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"class_list":["post-137027","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
