  • 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 Everyone,


I am happy to say I am officially back in the Orthodox Church. I did my lifetime confession last week and also had my first communion in many years Wednesday night. After not having communion for several decades, I had it twice in one week which is amazing.

My wife is going to be baptized this Saturday on Lazarus Saturday which is even more amazing. She has been on her own journey. She was immediately drawn to the church after I brought her for the first time - a year ago.

It is strange to think I am actually Orthodox again which is really cool. I spent most of my life away from the church but still interested in it. Some of my "Orthodox Wanderer" posts are kind of embarrassing but that was where I was at.

I feel a slight difference after the communion. I feel the same but a couple times I noticed that I had check myself. I was getting mad about an unexpected dental issue and I had to pause. I am Orthodox now. I just can't let my tempter flair like I used to.

Will post more later.
