• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Do Christian denominations approach epistemology differently (or do we all agree)?

Also, some of the apocryphal books are read during the Daily Office in the Anglican Communion.

That is true. I used to routinely go to a weekday service at the local Episcopal cathedral many years ago, and once they were reading from Sirach as the Old Testament lesson.

Indeed on the feast of St. Luke the Evangelist, the pericope “Honor a physician” is read.

If it was a Eucharist, that was probably the occasion. However it is read on other occasions for evensong and mattins.

I love the book of Sirach!
