  • 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.

Peace, All :wave:

I was wondering: how many of you think that weekly communion is an important part of worship? Why or why not?

Personally, I feel as if something is "missing", no matter how uplifting the music and preaching is, if there is no communion. Of course, your mileage may vary.

In Christ,

Daniel

I love communion. I don't feel like something is missing if we don't have it, but I do think that we should have it every week.

I value partaking in communion often. The reason being because in communion we are brought back to the reality of Christ--his death and his resurrection. It makes Christ center in a huge way in our worship. It's something to celebrate. It's good.

I wouldn't say it needs to be required every week, but communion needs to be deeply valued in our worship.

Being in a liturgical church, my opinion may be a departure from some others here. Communion is THE culmination of every service. In it, we remember Him, we fellowship with Him, we receive healing from Him, and his very being becomes a part of our own in both a tangible and a mystical way. There is something about the initimacy with the Lord in the communion that can't be duplicated any other way, no matter how deep and meaningful the worship time. I think it is very important to "do" this in remembrance, as He said.
