  • 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

    is it just me

    yeah, that's all I'm looking for...but as of now it really hasn't worked. maybe I should just find another forum (like this one :) )other than the teen one to post in, since it might be more worthwhile.

    Troubling Question

    I was in pretty much the same situation with my guy friend a few weeks ago. Our conversation wasn't a heated argument, but the same issues were touched on. It ended with me saying well we can just disagree on this, but he responded with "what's wrong with my view?" I really didn't know what to...

    Why Orthodoxy?

    ^_^ hmm...the things everyone else said are true for me...but to say in my own words, I guess the absolute consistency of Orthodox worship, and how it just makes sense. Okay so I'm not good at explaining...I'll have to think on this in case someone asks me (which they are bound to do at some...

    youth group

    We have an annual youth retreat to the monastary that is about an hour away from our church, which works out really well. But I was thinking more on terms of weekly/every other week meetings, something more regular to keep us better connected. Of course community service projects would be...

    youth group

    ok I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but.... I want to organize my church's teen youth group (this will be my last year in it). It had started a few years ago but it was always weak and just never really pulled together. Right now it's pretty much nonexistent. But now that...

    scared

    I've been struggling lately with commitment issues, I guess you could say. I have trouble getting close to people because somewhere deep inside of me keeps telling me that I'm going to lose anyone I get close to eventually, so why even get involved...I know it's irrational, but I can't seem to...
