  • 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

    Strange Phone Video

    I want to start by saying I have the utmost respect for my son's privacy and I would never intentionally violate it. That said, I accidentally stumbled upon this bizarre video on his phone when I had mistaken it for my own. I have no idea what this is or why my son would have a video like this...

    If there's no traditional Anglican Church near you, and an Anglican priest over two hours away is willing to hear your confession and grant you absolution over the phone, is it valid?
