  • 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

    Catholic priest joins Episcopal Church to be with woman he loves.

    People have the choice of rejecting it, period, and vast numbers have done so in recent years. They do not have to go 'somewhere else'- but this man did so, having remained with Rome, with Rome's apparent collusion, while flagrantly flouting its authority. That says a great deal about this man...

There are people who do just that, though of course they can be full members of only one. There are quite a few regular church attendees who...

    Boston Tea Party?

    Gay marriage approval sounds death knell for Anglican unity -Times Online "What do you think of the French Revolution?" "It's too early to say." Is this the death knell for Anglicanism itself in the USA? Has the Boston Tea Party played out to an inevitable conclusion?

    We may suppose that it is, perhaps. ;)

    Theological Statement of the ACNA

    Unfortunately, the 'Anglo-Catholic movement' has always given that upstart impression (even its name is a nonsense), and it is over a century old. The roots of this faux pas lie way back with the Tractarians. But then people still believe in a pope, and that soap characters actually exist. An...

    Theological Statement of the ACNA

    Real theologians won't. The Anglo-Catholic imagination (seeking refuge, and solace, perhaps, :) ) might. But the cold reality gives no support to a fond notion, and with just a few words ACNA has declared itself incompetent and of no significance among those who matter. Now acne, that does...

    Why do we reject the papacy?

    That is a falsehood. Some Anglicans do precisely that, for the reasons already given. [/SIZE]
