  • 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

    Unceasing Worship

    The focus of this blog is the description of prayer, mystical theology, liturgy, and liturgical beauty, which is to say, the beauty of how we worship our Lord, and the expressions of that worship, whether through ritual, sacred music, iconography and other artwork, and architecture.

    Oriental Orthodox Theology of Iconography?

    In the Eastern Orthodox Church we have a clear theology of Iconography, which explains why they constitute a part of our Church. This theology can be seen in the Seventh Ecumenical council, John of Damascus' defence of Holy images and subsequent theologians who have written on the topic. I...
