  • 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.

After leaving office in 1981, Carter returned to his hometown of Plains, Georgia, where he taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church, a role he continued into his later years.

Despite political differences, some of the nation’s most well-known pastors acknowledged his legacy.

I remember reading in his book about Maranatha leaving the Southern Baptist Conference because of their excessive political pressure.
I am glad they are recognizing his goodness, faithfulness, and Christian witness.
