  • 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.

Did anyone see Good Morning America this morning (12/13/04)? I can't find the link anywhere on their site. It was this segment on the growth rate of American Born-again Christians, our mega churches and our affect on politics. They said a recent Gallup poll puts the Born-again Christian population in America at 40 percent. That seemed kind of high to me, but pretty darn cool!

They showed a picture of Jerry Fallwell, and had a very small segment with Joyce Meyer - which made me wonder if it wasn't something they're covering in more detail on another news program. If anyone saw it, or knows more about it, let me know!

ABC news had a segment last week on "The New Televangelist". They spoke with TD Jakes, Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer. They have regularly included a segment on religion since the election. They have partnered with beliefnet so there may be some links there.
