• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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’m almost done with this and it’s really great!

Glad to hear that Elder Porphyrios’ book was helpful. Several years back, a seminarian serving in our parish hosted an informal book group on Wounded by Love.

I just picked this book up. It has been recommended to me more than any other book, so I am really looking forward to reading it.
It’s one of my favorites!

The internet archive has archived a book about Saint Silouan the Athonite.


Scribd also has the text of Theophan the Recluse's letters:


There are adverts intermittently, but they don't appear to actually show up (?), so it's a minor inconvenience to read this book.

There is a collection of homilies of 14th century cleric, St. Gregory Palamas, which is only about 150 pages. The topics are Nativity, Transfiguration etc. and laity friendly.
