  • 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.

Second Thoughts About My Blog Entries.

I do not want to abandon my suggestion that my entries will be about my life experiences. But especially concerning my teaching career, I have realised that they could become very personal and I might therefore be identified by long-ago colleagues, if they are still alive.
Late in 2018 I was in hospital for several weeks and lay in bed thinking what to do with my time. I wrote seven essays, entitling them "Letters from Hospital" and I will blog them all if a few readers show interest.
I was inspired to do this by reading the Seventh Day Adventist Quarterly entitled "Oneness In Christ", and it caused me to elaborate some of my ideas on Christian anarchism. Some family members suggested that I ought to try to get them published, but when I did circulate them via email their interest, not surprisingly with them all being mainstream Christians mostly SDA, evaporated.
This has to be my experiment in this blog. Just how much interest am I going to create here!? There is some proselytising in them, but that can be excusably ignored if preferred. As I mentioned in my introduction for this blog, there are threads on Christian anarchism already here on CF in the forums for discussing its tenets.
