  • 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.

Alan Manning Chambers, former head of an organization that promoted conversion therapy for gay people, was arrested in a sting operation near Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday (May 19). Chambers, who disbanded and apologized for Exodus International in 2013, was charged with solicitation of a minor via computer, transmission of material harmful to minors, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.
