  • 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

    Mandatory (mRNA) Vaccine - The Orthodox Response

    Why do you keep bringing up flat-earth? You are the one bringing fantasy into this and unable to have a rational discourse. If you are cool with taking vaccines, go ahead and do it. I explained why I don't use them. I don't really understand why facts have you so irate that you have to attack my...

    Mandatory (mRNA) Vaccine - The Orthodox Response

    I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't seen , experienced or heard of anyone known by me or by anyone I know, who has had the problems you mention here with covid. It may be that people are experiencing those things and I am truly sorry for them and their families. The only person I know who has been...

    Mandatory (mRNA) Vaccine - The Orthodox Response

    Actually, I'm not. Do you know how vaccines are created and what they are made from? They include heavy metals and other toxins, like formaldehyde, they have human dna, even Bill Gates has admitted they are "gene therapy". The flu is an inconvenient and uncomfortable illness for most people...

    Mandatory (mRNA) Vaccine - The Orthodox Response

    Survival rate is still over 99%. And vaccines are still created using aborted children, some even including the cells of aborted children and animals. Vaccines are far more deadly than the flu.

    Never received my Icons

    I have had ordered icons from Uncut Mountain and St Isaac's Skete, with good results. St. Isaac's did stop producing icons for a while due to "covid", so my shipment was delayed, but I did receive my icons eventually!

    Francis Chan discusses the Eucharist (and Church Fathers) with Bible Answer Man and a Metropolitan

    Thanks for sharing this! I just saw the first few minutes, but it looks good. I have never been a fan of Francis Chan, but will pass this on to my protestant friends. It is nice to see him appearing humble and showing an interest in learning. May he see the truth and have the courage to share...

    Learning Greek

    Thanks, I appreciate what you're saying. In fairness to the monastery, they choose to use Greek and are kind enough to allow pilgrims to join them for their services. They aren't a parish. I do belong to an English-speaking parish, but when my parish was closed due to "covid", the monastery was...

    Considering making a change

    I came out of a Southern Baptist church, in a very small town and I had the same experience and concerns. I have found that for the most part, those I had a true connection with and those who had a true desire for God, have been very understanding of my move to Orthodoxy, even if they are...

    Learning Greek

    My daughter and I would like to learn the type of Greek which is used during services at the Greek monastery. I have heard that multiple types may be used in the services (maybe one type for chanting and another for the liturgy?). Does anyone know if this is true, and if so, what types are...

    The Catholic Church Has a Visible White-Power Faction: An Orthodox Problem As Well

    gzt: The only hate and racism I've seen here has been from you. I will just remove myself so that I won't be bothered anymore.
