• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

I believe it was Presbyteria Frederica Matthews-Greene who said that a Chinese restaurant was an Orthodox believer's best friend! I have also found Indian restaurants to be very Lenten friendly!

Autocorrect? I’m guessing it should be Presbytera instead of Presbyterian? :D

Looks delicious!

I find Thai food to be very Lenten friendly. The only problem is most of those foods also contain oil, and often the worst seed oils in terms of human consumption. Canola oil (otherwise known as genetically modified Rape seed oil) is being used in almost everything, and it's getting to the point where you have to process all of your food at home to ensure your food is free of such oils.
