  • 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.

    request for my gran

    my gran is going in to hospital for a liver biopsy tomorrow - we're all praying that it goes well and i would love it if more people could pray for her too :) she's very scared that either the biopsy won't go well or that the results will be bad. Please pray for her.

    needing some advice

    wow thank you for your reply!!!! First off I don't like the Purpose Driven Life books - I don't think they have enough substance.

However I have never done any youth work...

This past weekend we had a youth weekend at my church - I had my appendix taken out just 2 weeks previously and was...

    Please pray for my gran

    if it's doesn't work then yes it is life threatening - if this doesn't work then she can't have surgery to fix her liver!!! And generally any sort of heart surgery is very serious anyway - we're all very worried about her. Thanks for the prayers!!!
