  • 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.

A woman has been arrested after a church in Austell, Georgia, was burned, and officials say she sent messages threatening to kill the pastor and his wife. She faces multiple felony charges, including arson and making terroristic threats.


Investigators say the blaze consumed the congregation's building late on Monday, destroying roughly 20,000 square feet and leaving the structure in rubble, CBS News reported, citing court documents.

Fire crews fought flames for hours after they were called to Prayer City Eagles Chapel. Authorities found a plastic container of ignitable liquid at the scene and say the suspect entered the building without permission.

Pastor Raphael Grant said he learned of the blaze after a leader called him, and he drove immediately to the scene.
