  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I can't say I've really missed much. There have been a few things and maybe a couple of people I've thought of, but, other than that, spending a lot less time here has been a net gain. I spent some time reading Dark Night of the Soul by St. John of the Cross--as well as some other material. I...

It is time that I take a break from this website. Although there are many wonderful people on here, and many wonderful subforums, there are also many that have all but destroyed my faith in God, and people. I thought I could avoid the toxic subforums, and the people that were damaging my...

This is one of the best hymns ever. I hope you have had the opportunity to sing this in worship. O love of God, how strong and true! Eternal, and yet ever new; Uncomprehended and unbought, Beyond all knowledge and all thought. O love of God, how deep and great! Far deeper than man’s deepest...
