  • 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.

More than $350,000 has been raised to support the family of a pastor and father of four who was struck and killed by a driver while bicycling with friends on a Southern California highway. The driver fled the scene before being taken into custody nearby.

Eric John Williams, the 45-year-old founder of Community Church of West Garden Grove, was killed last week while cycling near Huntington Beach.

A GoFundMe page set up by Williams' sisters-in-law describes Williams as a man who “spent his life serving others," saying he and his wife, Robyn, just celebrated 20 years of marriage.

"Eric was a Godly man with a heart for Jesus and for people," Robyn Williams' sisters wrote in the post. "He was kind, funny, and steady in his faith, always lifting others up."

The fund, which had raised over $355,000 as of Monday afternoon, is intended to help support Robyn and their children through the immediate aftermath and into the future.
