  • 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.

Renovations of a medieval church in Germany have led to the discovery of over 1,000 artifacts, with some dating back to the church's founding in the 13th century.

St. Mary's Church in Gardelegen began excavations in June 2022 with the intent of installing a new under-floor heating system. The excavation continued until September 2023 and covered 145 square meters and went to a depth of around 40 centimeters.

Some 679 coins or coin fragments were discovered beneath the old wooden floor of the church. A range of other items were found, including dress pins, book clasps, ceramics, animal bones, glass shards iron nails, traces of plants, tweezers and beads.
