  • 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

From the site:
We, the families and single residents of the Rocky Cape Christian Community, come from various parts of Australia (Tasmania, Queensland, and New South Wales) and lands overseas. Some of us grew up in Christian homes—some of us did not.
We form an Anabaptist (Hutterite) style community, baptising believers on confession of faith, holding our goods in common, and choosing non-violence as followers of Christ.

While we have close and direct links to other Anabaptist communities like ours, we seek fellowship with all serious believers—regardless of their background or credentials—that know Christ and follow him. We accept the baptism, church order, and witness of other groups beside our own.

A number of us at Rocky Cape belong to families that fled for their faith from Switzerland, Austria, and Germany during the 1500s. From there, we found our way through Eastern Europe to America and Australia. But this is only one detail of a much more involving story that began with . . .


BTW thought this thread ought to be resurrected
