  • 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.

    This looks interesting

    If you go to the second page of this link: http://www.christchurchbabylon.com/101006Crier.pdf it seems like this parish will be celebrating a liturgy from 1550 during Advent. I hope I'm reading the priest's letter right.

    Thinking of visiting an Episcopalian parish

    I found my first parish to visit. It seems conservative, which I am. I am learning it is an affiliate of the American Anglican Council. Does anyone know about this group?
