  • 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

    After war comes Famine?

    Naming places in foreign languages

    This whole Russo-Ukrainian war has brought into focus something that I find needlessly silly. All this fighting about what foreigners call each other and their places. We are told that we must drop the article now, saying Ukraine instead of the Ukraine, and transliterate Kiev as Kyiv. For you...

    Hillary Clinton and Ukraine

    I wonder what people think would have happened with Ukraine if supposedly hawkish Hillary Clinton had won the Presidential election. I'm hoping this thread will be irenic and adhere to the forum rules.

    I can’t support the Ukrainian Government any longer, even though Putin was wrong to invade

    Ukraine's Zelenskyy addresses Congress, invokes 9/11, Pearl Harbor, MLK as he pleads for pivotal aid Note that Fox News has been consistently pro Ukraine, and I am citing their story because it is easy to read. Zelenskyy addressed the US congress in protest at our correct decision not to...

    "The Solution for the Russian/Ukrainian War". An Approach of Love

    The conflict in Ukraine is sad for me. Russians and Ukrainians are brothers with a long close history and culture. The Ukrainian Anthem calls Ukrainians members of the "Cossack Generation", and Cossacks are both Russian and Ukrainian. The Don and Kuban Cossacks are two of the most famous, and...

    Ukraine: What price freedom?

    If you were president Zelensky considering his options what would you choose? Assuming that: 1) NATO will not ride in militarily on a white horse to save the day but continued supplies of humanitarian aid, military equipment, and intelligence will be forthcoming. 2) Zelensky will not be removed...

    Saint Javelin: Is it heresy?

    How 'Saint Javelin' raised over $1m for Ukraine I saw this, and I was wondering about whether this would constitute heresy? I know historically asking weapons to be blessed occurred, usually coupled with concepts of just wars or the like, but this is the Virgin Mary holding a rocket launcher...

    War compared to Covid19

    Ukraine has suffered over 100,000 deaths due to Covid19 but so far only 100s or maybe 1000s due to the war. Ukrainians are understandably fleeing the country or hiding under the ground: making significant sacrifices to save their lives and the lives of their children, family and friends. Now I...

    Vladimir Putin’s spiritual destiny

    There is an interesting piece out today by an author called Giles Fraser. I was already familiar with Giles, because I sometimes enjoyed reading his pieces on Unherd, and before that, at The Guardian. He has written a piece on Vladimir Putin, and for me, at least, it made for a fascinating...
