  • 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

    Q. What is Holy Matrimony? (Anglican Forum Members Only)

    I've given though to the whole question regarding the definition of marriage and as I've been mulling it over I came to pose the same question that you have posed. What is Matrimony? What is Marriage? I think it would be helpful to do an etymological study of the word and practice. I'm...

    Question for Sacramental churches (IE - Anglican, Old Catholic)

    As a lifelong Episcopalian who feels that my denomination has left me, there can be no scriptural justification for ordaining presbyters who are openly homosexual. Concerning the ordination of women to the presbyterate, along with J.I. Packer, I would consider the action to be unwise and...
