  • 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

    OCF meetings at my university

    Congratulations on your engagement and on become the OCF president. I held that position at my university almost 7 years ago now. I think since then the national OCF office can offer many more resources, programing and support to chapters than they could years ago and it's so exciting to see...

    Holy Land pilgrimage

    I just got back from the recent Pilgrimage with Bishop Savas. You can read the "official" blog about it here It's the only time I have been so I can't compare it to other times of year, we didn't really experience oppressive crowds (and I know our guide was working hard to accomplish that) but...

    GOARCH C-L Conference

    but I should say that i am hearing great feedback from attendees, I went in 2008 and it is a very edifying experience (and the resolutions were not better).

    GOARCH C-L Conference

    I actually think that was the strongest of the resolutions: 2) a resolution calling for peace in the world, 3) a resolution in support of the work of the recent Episcopal Assembly of Canonical Bishops in North and Central America, 4) a resolution recognizing the heroic sacrifices of...

    the 5th, 6th, and 7th person on the Earth...

    Very interesting question. One of my seventh grade (sunday school students) actually asked me the same thing not too long ago. I basically said "the same way it happens now and that's a discussion better had with your parents!" I know I'm a wuss, but birds and bees are not part of my...

    I hate my life.

    It can be really hard if you don't currently have friends you can turn to in your area (I know this first hand) Although you are probably busy with school check out Meetup.com you find groups of people based on interests and geographical location. You can find activities that cost nothing...

    How Orthodox are you?

    Figured I weigh in although I haven't posted much lately. I was born and raised Orthodox. I'm probably more religious than the rest of my immediate family and yet I'm "not Orthodox enough". I fail even when I know better, and I don't try even when I know I should. The internet is great, it...
