  • 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 federal judge has permanently ordered one of California’s largest school districts to allow the Christian Good News Club to meet on campus after more than a year of legal battles over alleged religious discrimination.

In a statement published Wednesday, Liberty Counsel announced that the Child Evangelism Fellowship secured a permanent injunction requiring the Oakland Unified School District in Oakland, California, to provide the Good News Club equal access to school facilities alongside similarly situated secular after-school groups.

The ruling comes nearly a year after a federal court granted the Christian organization a preliminary injunctionthat temporarily granted the Good News Club equal access.
