  • 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.

C.S. Lewis wrote and introduction to St. Athanasius' classic On the Incarnation. I believe it would be good for every Christian to read St. Athanasius' book, but I think Lewis' introduction is a gem that should be read by every Christian.

You can find that introduction HERE.

A timely reminder but it should also be remembered that we live in an age which actually knows more about 1st and 2nd century Christianity than did Athanasius.

according to the attitude of most moderns, we know more about Athanasius than Athanasius did.

Cajun, Thanks a lot!! Great read indeed.

Slightly disagree with your signature line" christianity is a prolife faith" , maybe it would be better to add " "striving to become pro-life"
Considering with what ease Christianity thru most of our history,used to kill and genocide people of different faith and those we deemed to be "wrong kind of christian" Lets be humble, and hope we are becoming a bit more respectful of life now
