  • 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.

    until an artist comes to know God (& even after) is his or her work more often than not an expression of past pain they have experienced or a response (in competiton) to the work of fellow artists (Ecclesiastes 4 v 4)?

    Students watch 'Fahrenheit 9/11' in English class

    Seems like a good idea to watch something which will stimulate the mind, better to be hot or cold rather than lukewarm - although I'm not sure why it should be in an English lesson!

    Kerry's wife says kids should go naked!

    So...just changing the subject slightly, what those who are criticising Mrs Kerry's comments are saying is that, as it's disgraceful that anyone should think that the victims should only have water & not clothes relief, the US government and all right-minded individuals should, without delay and...

    Nudity in art

    All I can say from the classes I've been in is that this has not been my experience. Unwelcome attention is not unknown but I don't believe it's the norm. In our society there are (sadly)many other ways of seeing the naked form - a drawing class where you have to sit for a couple of hours &...

    Nudity in art

    I'm unsure whether this is fair. I don't believe it's orange & apples. H.R.Rookmaaker, in "Modern Art & the death of a culture", makes the point "lightly clothed figures are often much more erotic[than nudes]" He goes on to say "The erotic and sexual have a place in art, as they have...
