  • 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.

    Was it Walmart 8 Foot Grinch in 19th Century Russia????

    Is outrage! Went shopping online for nativity sets and this is what I find: However, I was glad to see that St. Vladimir's Seminary Press has made Walmart's "nativity" search list: Prepare O Bethlehem: The Feast of the Nativity, by Niko Chocheli

    For Copts and Oriental Orthodox members...

    Hi there...Here at CF, the only option for an Orthodox faith icon, is a Russian three bar cross. Would you like to have a different option for yourselves, a cross that more accurately shows your identity as a Coptic or Oriental Orthodox Christian? If you would like this, I would like to help...

    All Holy Eve

    Thought that since everyone else out in CF-land is debating this, I might as well ask for Orthodox input. Are you or aren't you? Is it a terrible thing or is it NBD? Why or why not ?

    "Celtic" Orthodoxy

    Awhile back, I took quite a beating for even suggesting the link between early Irish monks and the Desert Fathers, and the Egyptians. At the time, I couldn't figure out where I had read it online. Many thanks to St. Patrick and his worthy helper, Patrick B at orthodoxinfo. com...
