I'm not sure how this might work in practice. It seems like a good idea up front but there's a reason why we have so many varied fora that sort of represent "Reformed" theology.

Most people new to the Reformed faith, for instance, tend to think that cutting your teeth on the 5 points sort of introduces Reformed theology. True to an extent but then there's the doctrine of the Church, the Sacraments, the Regulative Principle for Worship, the Confessions, etc.

We'd either have one "Newbie forum" that had introductory stuff on all of those major "headers" or it would be a forum category that practically replicated about 20 fora we have on the major headings of Reformed theology.

What might be worthwhile is a repository of articles that cover all these points so people can be introduced to them. I could set up an Article forum and grant rights to certain folks and commission articles to be written on these main headers to give introduction and explanation to these topics you're talking about.

People could interact with and ask questions on the articles and that might spur the creation of further articles to fill in the gaps.
