  • 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.

During the gathering, the Rev. Botrus Mansour was installed as the new secretary general of the WEA, ending a year-and-a-half vacancy in the top position. Hailing from Nazareth, Mansour brings a wealth of experience to the role as a former lawyer who has held various leadership positions across church and educational bodies in the Holy Land, including co-chairman of the Lausanne Initiative for Reconciliation Israel-Palestine.

Speaking to reporters, he said he was filling “large shoes” and that while his new appointment was “overwhelming,” he was “here to serve.”
