  • 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.

BURKE, Va. — A prominent Northern Virginia church announced its plans to launch a ministry for parents of children who identify as trans to fill a support vacuum for guardians who refuse to go along with attempts by schools and medical professionals to socially and surgically "transition" their children.

Burke Community Church is a non-denominational congregation in the suburbs of Washington that adheres to biblical principles on issues such as life, marriage and gender identity. The church cites Psalm 139:13-16 in its statement of faith and constitution, stating that "sexuality and gender are fixed by God at birth and are not fluid."

Its new ministry, "Wonderfully Made," alludes to the Bible verse and promises to come alongside the parents of children struggling with their gender identity by offering support and prayer.
