  • 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 Tennessee pastor who was identified among 16 people killed in the Accurate Energetic Systems plant explosion near Bucksnort last Friday morning was just weeks away from his wedding.

The late pastor, Trent Stewart, who was also a firefighter with the Waverly Department of Public Safety, was named among the victims by local officials at a press conference on Monday.

The other victims are: Reyna Gillahan, Jason Adams, Billy Baker, Christopher Clark, James Cook, LaTeisha Mays, Melinda Rainey, Steven Wright, Erick Anderson, Adam Boatman, Mindy Clifton, Jeremy Moore, Melissa Stafford, Rachel Woodall, and Donald Yowell.

On Sunday, Tina Hamblin Coon, a cousin of Katy Stover, whom Stewart proposed to last December, said their family was devastated by the loss.
