 | Defining homosexuality and sexual orientation:
It is a source of great embarrassment to us that we interchanged the definition
of homosexual orientation and heterosexual orientation in one of our essays. A visitor to our
website caught the error and Emailed us. We really appreciate their effort. | ||||||
| In our essays on the United Church of Canada and
homosexuality and on "Conflicts concerning
homosexuality with Christianity, we misspelled the name of the
Community of Concern -- a conservative reform group within the United
Church. | ||||||
| We incorrectly identified the Evangelical
Friends International association of yearly meetings as the conservative
wing of the Quaker movement in the U.S. In fact, there is no association
of conservative yearly meetings. There are, however, three independent
conservative yearly meetings in Iowa, North Carolina and Ohio. | ||||||
| We quoted an information source that we thought was accurate. It said that
only Orthodox Jews could be married in Israel. In reality, there are a number
of authorities in the countries controlling marriage: for Orthodox Jews,
Christians, Muslims and Druze. However:
They generally go to a place like Cyprus, get
married there, and then return to Israel to register their marriage. See our essay on religious intolerance in Israel | ||||||
| We briefly mentioned that the country of Sri
Lanka recognizes Tibetan Buddhism as occupying the foremost place" among its
religions. This is the wrong Buddhist tradition. Theravada Buddhism is the
dominant tradition in the country. | ||||||
| We attributed the definition of "Consubstantiation" in our glossary to
Martin Luther. Although this is commonly believed to be true and is found in
many dictionaries, it is false. | ||||||
| We accidentally interchanged the titles of two Vatican documents in some
essays on emergency contraception. The Vatican issued a document in 1965
called "Dignitatis Personae" that deals with religious freedom. They
issued an unrelated document in 2008 called "Dignitas Personae" that
deals with bioethics. | ||||||
| We accidentally grouped Unitarians in Canada, who have been active in the environmental movement, with Unitarians outside of North America who have been relatively inactive. We added material that describes various activities of Unitarians in Canada. |
At the end of 2009, our website contained 5,124 essays.
