  • 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 watched the replay for the Coronation , here statesside, a few days later.
I was at church SUnday Morning, the Priest mentioned it during the announcements, said "What an event, maks one feel good to be Episcopalian"
SO last night I watched the replay (not including the drive to and from the church, but the actual coronation) ...

all I cn say is

WOW

Like really

WOW

No words
Just feelings

I am an aestheticist, and watching that ceremony brought tears of happiness and joy from my soul....no words can describe the inspired beauty of what I saw.


Throughout my life, I have had people who cannot understand what draws me to the Episcopal/Aanglican tradition To the point that I no longer discuss it with people. Because language cannot express that which is so beatuiful that it points to the Divine in the way that that the liturgy does for me.

And the coronation, so beau tiful so loving of an expression that I could only watch in silence and awe at the aesthetic beauty inherent in the service.
