Our process Nomination of a topic Someone nominates a "PQRC" – a brief outline of a Problem, Question or general "Reconciliation Challenge" consistent with the task. Critical appraisal A critical appraisal of the PQRC as nominated, possibly involving rewriting it to achieve endorsement. See the format for Critical appraisal at Template:CriticalAppraisal. Endorsement by editors A majority of editors agrees that it is an accurate statement of an aspect of our task. See template (1) below. Formulation as a Reconciliation Challenge
(NB: we have not considered how to answer simple questions of fact yet.)Relevant understanding(s) of Scripture and discoveries of Science are described, with a summary of the "problem reconciling them" as per our task. This can be reworked if necessary to facilitate discussion and resolution. See the Reconciliation Challenge format at Template:Problem. Second endorsement by editors A majority of editors agrees that that we have an accurate statement of the "problem" as per Resolution 1 of our task. Free discussion Beginning from the Free discussion section of the Reconciliation Challenge template, discussion can take place anywhere in the wiki and be linked back. This phase finishes when a majority of editors agrees. Formulation of judgements We write judgements following points 1 to 5 of Formal decision making, referring only to material that is already in the wiki, or is unanimously agreed. Judgements should cover the first three points of the Scope as per our task. Deliverables The wiki itself is a deliverable, but we watch for other opportunities to create deliverables.
Template (1) – Editors' endorsement We agree that this is an accurate statement of an aspect of our task. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Older discussion about the process
We need to start a list of problems (or "difficulties" in reconciling Scripture and Science - see the "task".) Bruce (talk)
Then we can prioritise which ones to work on first. Prue (talk) 03:19, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
Note that resolutions of individual problems, or answers to questions, are not necessarily within the scope of our task, which requires an "overview of the many sides of the discussion". Nevertheless here is what a formal structured decision might look like and here is what a procedure for making it might look like. Bruce (talk)
