Whenever there is talk on Anglo-Catholicism Vs Evangelicalism, you often hear or read that one emphasises the Catholic nature of the Anglican church and the other emphasises the Protestant nature, but can (or are) Anglo-Catholics still considered Protestants? Do AC's see themselves as Protestant...

Nice to meet everyone :) I am writing to understand my partner's situation with his family. I come from an ancient civilization that honours the earth and the cycle of the seasons. One of the main things I heard growing up was - everyone is equal and everyone deserves respect. I feel a deep...

One of the country’s largest adoption and foster care agencies, Bethany Christian Services, announced on Monday that it would begin providing services to L.G.B.T.Q. parents nationwide effective immediately, a major inflection point in the fraught battle over many faith-based agencies’...

Evangelical Christians Grapple With Racism As Sin

Hi folks, I'm a Christian who lives and works (as a videographer) here in the UK. Back in Feb we shot/produced an inspiring spoken word Easter video for a mainstream UK church organization called Evangelical Alliance. Whilst the video turned out great (IMHO) the most rewarding aspect for me was...

Research seems to suggest that racism is a problem among Evangelicals. Nevermind the "Trump supporters are racist" argument - there's other evidences that we've got some serious work to do. But we're so segregated that this problem doesn't seem apparent. This article takes things a bit deeper...

This is a post from another thread, but what if we all prayed for each other: Baptists for Methodists; Calvinists for Messianics; Catholics for Jehovah's Witnesses...and vice versa, etc...do you believe The Creator would bless such prayer? The enemy can divide us over disagreements over words...

Since I joined CFcom in 2005, I've identified myself as Baptist because I am ordained with a baptistic denomination, the Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA), Australia. I've done this because the C&MA is not identified in the 'Christian Communities' directory. The denomination has approx. 6...

It is an oft discussed subject that mainline Protestant denominations are declining and losing members. Evangelical denominations are also declining in recent years. The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest evangelical denomination in the United States with 15 million members, is declining...

Or at least that's what they say in this article and in the Netflix doc "Michael Lost and Found": https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/how-a-james-franco-movie-got-an-ex-gay-pastors-conversion-wrong BTW, Michael Glatze is no longer a pastor and has been disparaging protestant Christianity ever...

Being new to the group, I am curious to see how people identify. In my own congregation, we have a 'low church' or 'evangelical' praise service on Sunday early morning and we have two Rite II traditional masses later in the morning as well as a charismatic service on Wedsenday. How do you...

An attorney for the United Methodist Church has clarified that the Judicial Council's ruling on April 28,2017 ruled that they did not have jurisdiction to review the nomination, election, and assignment. They only ruled that they had jurisdiction to rule on hypothetical future cases. The result...

In case you haven't seen or heard of the movie I Am Michael starring James Franco, Michael Glatze was a gay activist who, after a health scare, turned to God, gradually became anti-gay, became a pastor and married a woman. Now it seems he has renounced AND denounced all forms of protestant...

Hi, I'm new here and wanted to find some input on how to handle a situation I find myself in, with my husband (of 18 years). I apologize this is lengthy... I'm a non-denominational evangelical Christian and my husband is a traditional (SSPX) Roman Catholic. When we got married, he wasn't...

What exactly is Fundamentalism? Is it the main stream media caricature of snake handling Westburo Baptist rubes American Taliban? Well that seems to be what the secular Left would love to paint Fundamentalists. So where did this characterization or label come from. The actual history should...

As a person with an Evangelical background, I have seen the elusive species at least twice -- in 1974 & 1985, at Princeton, B.C. This would ultimately lead to an investigation of the subject (off and on) for over 22 years. I wanted answers as to maybe why? In this quest, I would find...

I found the following comment on Facebook. It's from a former protestant pastor who apparently had a movie made about his life. What do you guys think?

St. Benedict lived 30 miles East of Rome from 480-547. He discipled Pope Gregory 1st and is considered to be the founder of monasticism in the Western Church. Benedict established a school of the Lord’s service and recommended, dividing time (8 hrs sleep), 5-6 hours in prayer, 5-6 hours in...

Hello there! I joined the forum in search of some advice and guidance. I used to attend church as a child, and as a teenager left as I didn't feel comfortable. Recently, I've been drawn back to faith. I attended a service in a different church, at which I felt far more at home, welcomed and...
