  • 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.

Hi, Cygnus

These are really awesome!! I do admire those who are talented this way..........I am not. The detail in these pics is amazing.

Are you an artist, Cygnus? Or an admirer of others' abilities? Do you have any favourite artists or paintings?

Hi JS , yes I love those 2 pics , and am pleased to find the on line , I could have picked other pics of Augustine and John Calvin for my friend to copy for me , but I was partricularly keen on finding them both with theological books in their grasp ..... because of their influence on me and christendom .......

I am no artist but I do like fine art , I am not really much into abstract art ..... I am as fussy over my art as over my music ....... it has to catch me as something rich or different or telling me a story ........
I have a rare picture hanging up in this room , it is a famous picture depicting the Reformation in England when The Bible was chained by Royal command to every Church in the land in ENGLISH ........ not in a foreign tongue like latin ..... so it is poignant ..... a friend of mine who is a History teacher popped round one day and gave me a list of the people in the picture ....... that was so neat! ......... I bought it in a junk shop !!

speaking of art ....... I love this waistcoat ..........

Hello, Cygnus

Yes, it's gorgeous with its rich, vibrant colours. I think part of the fun of folk dancing is getting all dressed up in the fabulous costumes they wear.
