  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Middle class image?

Is it the Churches felt that the working classes arent attending Church?

I mean i agree you get some of the upper crust type and they act like it.

But being of good working class stock meself and proud of it, ive never seen it as an issue, in my Church there are normal workers, upper middle class and also very wealthy people.

If the middle classes are the only ones to still participate to a larger degree, of course its natrually going to become more intwined to that culture, its not the Churches fault the working class have lost interest.

I am "common as muck" alot would say. But what image are they talking about?, true Christians wether working class, middle or upper, value respectfulness, politness, helping others, so i dont get what other "image" they are looking for.
