  • 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

    Who's still here?

    Hi InnerPhyre, While I agree with your point, I want to insure you see the point of many other posters. The congregation sub-forums have historically be a place free from the distractions of the open forum. As I am sure you have seen in the past few days, this has changed a bit with the...

    It has developed due to a variety of factors. I think that it had its genesis when I read The Way of a Pilgrim. Due to my interest in that book, I started looking for the Philokalia, a chotki, etc. The image of Christ on the front of my copy of The Way of a Pilgrim seemed to reach out to my...
