  • 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

    ot: my daughter who supposedly has DS

    In the case of our son with DS the greatest effect was low muscle tone which was what was delaying him from sitting up on his own at 15 months. The doctor who diagnosed his DS told us that 1) this is addressed by increasing muscle strength, hence the physical therapy that he had for about 5...

    My daughter might have down's syndrome

    Indeed it can. Our youngest can throw a ball farther and better then his brother and sister could at his age because it was part of his PT. He still has the low muscle tone, but the strength has countered it. All it means now is that he is still incredibly flexible; he can fall asleep with his...

    OT: Honor Killings

    Unfortunately not, and it's not limited to persons of a muslim background. The book Unto the Daughters: The Legacy of an Honor Killing in a Sicilian-American Family by Karen Tintori is a book about a case in the Chicago area in the earlier 20th Century. And there was a news report in early...

    I was right

    You do *not* need this when things are going on with diagnosing your child. :sigh: I apologize for my impertinence; could this be something that is a kind of 'distraction' from your daughter's health? Do you know why he was doing this research? I'm sorry that you're having more stress. Ebor

    My daughter might have down's syndrome

    Almost exactly 8 years ago we were in the same place you are with our youngest child, a boy who was not sitting up on his own at 16 months and who had only gained a pound or so since his 1 year check up. The AFP test had shown the results for *possible* Downs, but we did not have the next level...

    Thank God for dead soldiers??

    If one reads/hears enough of Phelps-Roper and the other Westboro people, one finds the same things, insults, phrases repeated over and over. They do not engage others as real Human Beings, they only parrot their reponses to others. They are assured of their own Righteousness and that they are...

    Thank God for dead soldiers??

    The Westboro/Phelps group *threatened* to picket the Amish girls funeral in 2006. A person with a radio program named Mike Gallagher offered them air time if they would not do so and they accepted the offer. So at least the Amish were spared such a vile and cruel act and display. Ebor

    The Anglican Communion is Finished

    For some, and I'm NOT saying it applies to anyone here, such news could be posted with an air of "We're not like those Anglicans over there." Not all uses and motives are equal. Self examination as to why one wants to do something can be helpful in many aspects of life. With Respect, Ebor

    The Anglican Communion is Finished

    I'm sorry, but I've seen too many posts in places where the troubles of the Anglican Communion were written of along the lines of "That means more people converting to our Church"/ "Now that they know how wrong and awful their church is the Only place for them to come is my Church"... :( and...

    TAC vs. ECUSA: Which is the Truth?

    Oh, and the reason Henry VIII asked the Pope for an annullment was because there had been a dispensation for him to marry Catherine of Aragon in the first place. She was betrothed to Henry's brother, Arthur, when they were small children (political alliance time) she married him in 1501. He...

    TAC vs. ECUSA: Which is the Truth?

    May I ask please, what is your source material for this? Thank you in advance. Have you read Bede's "Ecclesiastical History"? The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is also available in translation from the Old English and is very important as a historical document from the period. St. Patrick was...

    What does it mean to be Anglican?

    It was the phrase "apostolic times" that suggested to me the presence of Christianity in the British Isles in the mid to later 1st century (considering that the Roman Empire did not seriously get to Britain until after the invasion of 43 AD). I am not suspicious, but looking for historical...

    The Anglican Communion is Finished

    One wonders the same and hopes that it isn't partly due to some sense of 'schadenfreude' :| Meaning no disrespect. Ebor

    What does it mean to be Anglican?

    There are legends of Joseph of Arimathea coming to Britain, but no solid evidence. The Proto-Martyr of England is St. Alban who was in the Roman army and was martyred about 304 AD. Well, what do you mean by "independent" here please? Bishops got their pallium from Rome (this is attested to...
