  • 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

In practical terms, I think we see this manifest sometimes in the way the specific readings from the lectionary will often speak to you...

    St. Euphrosynos Taverna and Ouzeri 26

    Billy Joel describes himself as atheist. On his Jewishness, "I had some Jewish guilt in me already - which must have been genetically ingrained since I wasn't raised in a Hebraic religious setting..." On his Roman Catholic experience, "I wasn't raised Catholic, but I used to go to Mass with my...

    Totally unrelated to Orthodoxy in any way shape or form, but I am in deep sadness...

    Whad'ya mean, frisbee? If anything it would be pizza dough... but those of us who know why gold is Gold and black is... well, you know, black, know that Khaleas' image can be nothing but TERRIBLE in the eyes of any who glory in false football glory. Thank you Khaleas. DavidBryan, better to...

    Divine Eros

    It was good to see you too, Eric. I can't get through Central Market without indulging too much. Found out last trip that actually grocery shopping for a family of 8 at CM (as opposed to picking up a few exotic snacks) is not an affordable option! Last time I was there, the old checkout guy...

    Which Zecharias?

    Thank you Clement and Eoe - this is just what I was looking for and couldn't find. I'm continually surprised at how many issues are resolved by our hymnography. George

    Apostolic Bible - LXX text, too

    I had to register using my email address - next time I went there, a link was provided at the top of the downloads page, slightly to the right, for the full zip download (which included the analytical lexicon, the english/greek index, and the lexical concordance).

    Ah - it's working now. The entire zip file is ~28 MB. We had thunderstorms earlier, which might have messed with our satellite internet connection. Thanks for the references! George

    Which Zecharias?

    In reading today's Saint's, I came across reference to the death of Zecharias, father of the Forerunner. The account has him put to death "between the altar and the Temple", at the command of Herod because he refused to disclose the location of the infant John (the Baptist) and because of the...
