  • 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.

Persecuted, concerned for cousin. Church threatened by mobs. Safe house blesses converted Muslims.

Those relatives even followed him to another country, hoping to harm him. But Salim's faith grew stronger, and he shared it with other family members, including an older relative. At one point that relative became sick and asked Salim, "Why doesn't your God heal?" Read More.
