The original aim of CR was to create a melting point of all religious and spiritual views - to provide resources and information, and especially an area for interfaith discussion.
I think CR has succeeded in some ways more than others, and not done so well in other areas.
Of especial concern has been the site's identity - the domain name is awful. Accidentally miss the hyphen and you end up on a Christian evangelical site which obviously has a very different aim to CR. In business it could be called "brand confusion".
In order to build on where CR has succeeded - and to improve on where we need to - CR itself will be sacrificed for the new incarnation - Interfaith.org
I bought the domain back in September, but I've only just been able to get around to start developing it.
The big job is to start moving all of the religious texts hosted on CR to Interfaith.org, while also running a new news section, which will cover religion in the news, as well as ancient history, science, and environmental issues.
Once I'm confident most of the texts have been moved, I'll then transfer the forum across.
Everything is still at the early stages, and I tend to do things in bursts - which means I'll probably just jump the forum move on everybody when you least expect it, simply because I've managed to allocate time to moving it.
I thought I'd therefore better give everyone a heads up on what's being planned, so it's not too much of a shock when the site is finally moved.
In the meantime, any questions at all, feel free to ask.
