  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Autism/ accessible service ideas

    hi guys, last Sunday I went to church and ended up with a thumping migraine due to the lights and noise etc but in my migraine medication state I had an idea.

    Disruptive during prayer

    Hi everyone, I have an almost 6 year old with high functioning autism. For some reason she gets really aggravated at meal time prayers. She say that she wants to pray, but when given the opportunity just screams "No, I don't want a turn, but I do want a turn," over and over. We made a chart of...

    New experience, what now??

Anyway, I have generally considered myself a loner and often wondered why I was so different all through my life. This summer we had a lot of stresses with wildfires and...

    Church for Autistics

    I'm a sinner, saved by grace, like all born-again Christians. I also have Aspergers Syndrome. I've been a Christian most of my life, but properly giving my heart to Jesus was tough because faith is a very elusive concept for people with Autism. Right now, I've committed my life to him and am...

    Wanted to say Hi

In a sense, its okay, because its a big part of my personality. I was diagnosed last year with an "Autism Spectrum Disorder,"...
