I think of a sanctuary as a place to go where you aren't bothered...by anything and that includes a discussion of beliefs. Sharing, yes. Debate, no.

I would think that discussions could be managed in chat rooms...or in PM adequately. I had hopes that this would be the place to come and say, Hey folks, I'm really battling not getting to church... and receiving religious icons of support or verses or maxims of credit back. (As those don't always occur in another forum of support. I think they still can be, but this forum takes some of that from the other forums? IDK.)

I think it's a forum where someone can come and ask for prayer for a loved one, or a situation, or just for an answer to their own prayer.

A sanctuary is where you don't have to explain what you believe, imo. You don't have to think too hard. You go and receive unconditional respite.
