Suggestion

How about a name change since this has ceased to be Apostolic in any sense of the word?

Maybe Ex-Apostolic Friends Forum?

Re: Suggestion

Hmm, I guess you're right. Perhaps we need to be paying homage to Rome.

So define Apostolic for us since you claim to be Apostolic evidently you are a member of this forum?
