  • 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.

Christian refugee and humanitarian organizations are speaking out as the U.S. State Department confirmed Wednesday that it is cutting 92% of foreign assistance-related grants in order to save approximately $60 billion.

The agency plans to cut around 10,000 United States Agency for International Development and State Department grants and contracts, according to a Wednesday appeals court filing from Trump administration attorneys. Approximately 500 USAID awards and around 2,700 State Department awards will be left in place, reports Axios.

The move comes as U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday placed a hold on a Biden-appointed federal judge's order that would have forced the Trump administration to pay foreign aid funds to grant recipients.
