Voice of the Day: St. Katherine Drexel
09-07-2009
Resolve: Generously and with no half-hearted, timorous dread of the opinions of Church and men to manifest my mission…. You have no time to occupy your thoughts with that complacency or consideration of what others will think. Your business is simply, “What will my Father in heaven think?”
- St. Katherine Drexel
, founder of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament

Comment Code of Conduct
I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for every member of the Sojourners online community, especially toward those with whom I disagree—even if I feel disrespected by them. (

I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (

I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (

I will hold others accountable by clicking "report" on comments that violate these principles, based not on
what ideas are expressed but on
how they're expressed. (

I understand that comments reported as abusive are reviewed by Sojourners staff and are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked from making further comments. (
