  • 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

    Anglican Schism Postponed

    The truth is that there is a significant disagreement within the Anglican Church in Australia. NOT! As I said before, Sydney and maybe 2 or 3 other dioceses are an island in the Australian Anglican Church. ALL Australian Bishops except ++Jensen went to Lambeth.

    The Jerusalem Declaration

    Dear Phinehas2, you are very, very wrong to call a handful of African bishops the majority. Whoever established GAFCON has a lot to answere for, and need our prayer to find the way back to God.

    C of E General Synod this weekend

    I realy can't see the problem, there will be some Dioceses with woman and some without, and all can leave peaceful together. Works well in Australia, we have 2 woman Bishops and we also have a Diocese who not even accept woman priest. And this is Sydney and Newcastle right together, border each...

    Anglican Schism Postponed

    To the best of my knowledge, only two Anglican dioceses in Australia are showing significant growth (or any at all). One is run by Peter Jensen, who was present at the Jerusalem meeting under discussion, and the other is acknowledged to be a virtual clone of the first. And from where did you...

    Focus

    And you know what Jesus said about this hypocrates? My few is this that anybody who support GAFCON haven't found God jet. Jesus forgives - Gafcon don't. There are more important issues as just ONE homosexual Bishop in our church to solve, so Aikona and Co have to be strongly condemned. repent of...

    Lay Celebration of the Eucharist

    Exactly right, Sydney, together with a handful at the most in Australia, are the only issue. Well we all know that Sydney doesn't represent Australia, it would be very, very sad for our Anglican Community here in Australia. Sydney got plenty of money because mostly of tradishional church goers...

    Which political party/system do you support?

    Fully agree with you. We are fare away from taking care of our resorces. It is my hope that the Government don't give in and lower the petrol prices. We still got big 4WD drives, even if we don't ever go bush - just to keep up with the jones, we still produce 6 and 8 cylinder cars which are very...

    Which political party/system do you support?

    I fully agree with everything you said - BUT THIS HAS NOTHING, ABSOLUTLY NOTHING TO DO with a world sport competition. Do anything, buy nothing from china, sell them any coal and so on - but don't get sport in this

    Have been refraining from posting this all day...

    Well, on one hand it is quite provokative to come out with this now 1 month away from the lambeth conference - on the other side it is maybe good and lambeth will come out with a solution. Its a playing with words, no we can't marry two man, but we can bless there love for each other. I would...

    Which political party/system do you support?

    This is a very sad statement. How can you mix up sport with a political problem. If tibet got a problem with china, well they should go to the UN. But to get sport involved and held it at random IS VERY VERY POOR and must be condemned.

    Is proselyting Muslims in England a "hate crime"?

    And it is not good to take out SINGLE Bible verses - because in the whole context mean something complete different. ^_^

    Quatsch-Thread (3)

    Ja, es war einmal... Als ich noch jung war, so 50 jahre her, da war es "die gute alte zeit" wie es heute heisst. Na ja alles war nicht sooo gut, z.b. der technische vorsprung von heute. Aber es sind halt schone erinnerungen, z.b. Madchen hatten nicht 'die hosen an', es waren wunderschone kleider...

    Na das hat sich aber ganz schlecht geandert. Wenn ich ausgewandert bin in 1970 da war die orts geschwindigkait immer noch 60kmh, und auf der autobahn konnte ich fahren so schnell ich konnte. :thumbsup: Sicher, ich verstehe das eine menge benzin wird gespart durch das langsame fahren - aber mehr...
