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.
Difference between Lutheran and Calvinist.

Sorry I have not read everything above (yet). I don't know if this has been mentioned but Calvin did strive for Protestant unity and even signed the Augsburg Confession after it was revised by Phillip Melanchthon in 1540. The Lutherans rejected those changes and unity never took place.
The Church pryor to the Reformation was much broader. After the Reformation Roman Catholics and Protestants all defined the faith (in their councils, creeds and confessions) much more narrowly. The Apostles' and Nicene Creeds allow for some width to the faith. They are doctrinal umbrellas that all Christian Churches can agree on (There is the Filioque matter between Eastern and Western Christians, but that is minor).
I think we should have more unity under these creeds.
