Sir Edward:

Hey all, I wrote up an interpretation of chivalrous virtues, with some adjustment for modern life (that is, ignoring or modifying a lot of the more archaic notions, to get to the more core features that are perhaps a bit more timeless).

I figured this website could use some informational pages. I know I asked in another thread about ideas, etc, but this might help get some things started. Let me know what you think.

Dragonlover:
I like it Sir Edward. Think it makes a nice touch to the page and a handy
reference for us all... ;)

Sir Gerard de Rodes:
Very nice  ;)

GrtWhtShark:
Ed,

A good listing, but if I could offer a thought for  consideration:

Participation - Chivalry is not solely an intellectual exercise.  It needs to be lived every day.  It is not arrogance to be seen demonstrating your values and beliefs.  Strive to be the example to others by getting involved in the service to your community.

It has been my experience than it is easy to just sit back and discuss high minded ideals, safe in the comfort of your home, surrounded by loved ones.  But to transport your beliefs out into the real world, where they may be tested is much harder and a better indicator of the character of a chivalric man or woman.  As knights, we should seek to inspire the young to actively seek out a better, more fulfilling way of life.  The best way to inspire is to be out, interacting with the rest of the world, dealing with it in accordance to your values.  What do you think?

Sir Edward:

That is quite true. Speaking of ideals without reaching for them may not accomplish anything. However, one can not reach for what they do not understand. That's one of the important roles that I see Chivalry-minded websites fulfilling-- providing a forum for for folks to learn and share, and hopefully awaken ideals that have long been dormant.

For me, one such community service is to provide this website.

I'm hoping that some of these additional pages will act as "hooks" to grab google-searches and bring more people in.
