• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Blessed Feast

of the Transfiguration of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ , to all !!

Sadly our Parish cannot be together at Liturgy in our own Chapel today - the building complex where our Chapel is, is closed because of the World Cycling Championships - we will have to visit the other Orthodox Churches in the city IF , because of the road closures for the Cycling , we can get to them.

Enjoy the day :)

Blessed feast Anhelya! Sorry to hear about the church and road closures, hope you were able to remember the feast in some way today :)

This feast always reminds me of a children’s song/‘hymn’ which I never liked. I was advised when expressing my displeasure of it that it is in fact quite sound for the feast of the Transfiguration…’Shine, Jesus, Shine’

Blessed feast! today was nice, an old buddy of mine who had left the church a long time ago, sadly, decided to come down and visit me at church today. It was good to reconnect, see he'd shed at least some of the bitterness, is even proactively reaching out and saying, hey, I want to come to church with you.
