  • 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

    Why Orthodoxy?

    As a former Roman Catholic it really all boils down to the question of Papal Supremacy - all differences between Rome and the Orthodox World stem from that one thing.

    Orthodox Christian Elevator Statement

    Good people of TAW: Christ is in our Midst! I've been thinking a lot lately about what short statement would make the most impact on people and would explain the essence of Orthodoxy... For those of you who may not be aware, there is a concept in Sales called an "elevator statement". It...

    Can we really "turn the other cheek" in this day and age?

    One way to look at this is that GOD was glorified by this event. Look at the example of humility and Christian love the Amish gave to us because of this terrible occurence. Satan's work "backfired" on him... again. Asking for your prayers, Chacci
