  • 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.

    I have been away from CF for a while and wanted to update you all... Some will remember me and I hope this 'thank you' is still timely. I started looking into Orthodoxy a couple years ago due to inconsistencies in my previous expression of Christianity. I decided to check the sources and...

    May I propose a poll of the different names so far?

    Classic Charismatic ... maybe? basically non confrontational....('His Will', etc implies WoF NEVER sek God's will, for example) and WoF springs from but does not include the Traditional/Classic types like us. maybe?

    The name of this forum is changing

    (I knew I should have checked in more often....) Traditional Charismatic seems non-threatening... but the Post-Charismatic has a 'ring' to it too... Without slinging mud (or other, nastier substances) could we base the name on some distinctive that 'separates' us from the WoF camp? Kind of...

    What happened to da Deliverance Ministry Forum?

    and some of us learned much about letting people be 'themselves' without requiring them to fit a preset mold... I know I certainly learned that and have been changed to the better for it. Thank you for the lesson Moriah - I have never regretted our friendship and I'm glad to cross paths...
