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.

Dianne,
Good link. Have you read any of Fr. Schmemann's other works? I highly recommend, "Of Water and The Spirit", his most excellent treatise on baptism, and "for the Life of The World" on Eucharistic Theology and its role and importance in the life of the Church.
His unworthy servant,
Eusebios.

I haven't gotten to his other works yet - just found that one yesterday. (I'm still working through the ECF's and the OCA website). But I'm putting Fr. Schmemann on my reading list!

Very good article countrymousenc, thanks for posting that. I think Fr. Schmemann sums our mission up well - engagement.
I just finished reading his book on Lent. I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks countrymouse. I followed the link back on the article you posted and there appears to be a bunch of articles online written by Fr. Schmemann. More to add to my mountain of reading!
