  • 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.

I attend a mission with no resident priest, so we get no Holy Week services at all yet (and won't til we get our own priest). Most of us drive to the mother parish (which is 1-1/2 hours away) and stay for the weekend. Luckily, there are people willing to put you up if you can't afford to stay in a hotel. Most of us go up for the Holy Friday services and stay through the Vespers service on Pascha, though some manage to get down there on Thursday evening in time for the service with the 12 Gospel readings. I will be going down on Holy Friday and coming back either late Sunday afternoon or early that evening.
