  • 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

A branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is urging churches to take extra precautions amid an increase of houses of worship in the New England region being victimized by arson and vandalism in recent months.

In a statement released Nov. 8, the Boston bureau of the federal law enforcement agency outlined recommended actions for churches and religious institutions to take in light of arson incidents directed at places of worship in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

The agency cited arson attacks in Franklin and Kingston in Massachusetts as well as Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

It’s sickening how the world hates us so much. Jesus warned us this would happen. I can’t say I’m too surprised.
