  • 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.

Episcopal and Anglican, are protestant?

God is immutable, therefore anglicans DO NOT follow Christ as our female minister claimed.

God might be immutable, but change is a fact of life in the Church. It's part of the human condition.

Sure, some things don't change - the rule of faith as expressed in the Creeds would be a good example (although I can hear our Orthodox brethren making a point about the filioque even there) - but each generation has to work out being faithful Christians in their own social context, and to the best of their understanding of Scripture, Tradition and reason. That naturally looks different for you and for me than it did for people a thousand years ago.

That doesn't mean that all of those faithful Christians aren't each following Christ - and corporately, together, following Christ - as best they know how.

IT DOES MEAN they are not following Christ. I think you may be coming to that realization.
