  • 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

    My wife and Orthodoxy

    You have my prayers. I have a somewhat similar religious background to your wife (although my parents also were involved with the house Church movement as well as the Conservative Mennonites for a while). My folks only recently left the Charismatics and end timers behind.

    Unions

    I work retail. I have been a loyal employee at the same store for nearly 7 years. I work hard and I go out of my way to serve the customers properly. I am a team trainer and am the most experienced person in my department. My bosses have in the past been verbally abusive and have thrown...

    Stay away from public schools.

    Which is a bad thing if your kid ever decides to go to college and needs to take a biology course (been there... done that... got the bad grade to prove it.)

    Organ in Church Services

    (Not going to debate... I swear. I just want to understand this perspective) Can you explain why? I really am curious why the music would need to be changed to attract new people. I don't have a horse in this race as we traditionally do not use any instruments during services. We do...

    Blessed Assumption/Dormition Day!

    To deny that Mary is Theotokos is to deny that Christ is God.

    Protestantism vs Orthodoxy?

    Yep. My priest has forbidden me from reading that site (I tend to be one of those crazy American converts that turns into a Russian peasant when they convert)

    Are You an Animal?

    I wouldn't say that most of the humans do it well either.

    Are You an Animal?

    I would say that the difference between us and other animals is that we debate theology on the internet.... but I'm not 100% positive that everyone debating theology on the internet is human. I heard a rumor about monkeys and typewriters.

    St. Euphrosynos Taverna and Ouzeri 44 (5)

    O come on now. Head on down this a' way and we'll git y'all talkin' real purty-like. Nobody butchers the English language quite like we can.

    Prayer requests post here!

    Not really. Mom still wants to go to the local OCA parish and Dad doesn't really want anything to do with it. They seem pretty happy with their Episcopal parish, but not so happy with TEC at the national level right now.

    Protestantism vs Orthodoxy?

    It really depends on what you mean by "protestant". There are quite a few differing denominations/beliefs out there under the label of protestant.
