  • 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.

Wrong! Mass conversion did not start with St. Constantine because he merely said "Ok Christians, you can worship freely". He did not say "All shall become Christians".

See Act:2. Near the end, I believe about 3,000 were baptized. If 3,000 is not massive than I do not know what is.

The first kingdom to officially adopt Christianity was Armenia. Then Ethiopia. Then Roman Empire. To the West, legends say that St. Paul may have gone as far as Gibraltar, St. Andrew as far north as Kiev and St. Mark as far south as Egypt. St. Patrick did a lot in Ireland. St. Boniface did a lot in what is now Germany and France. Sts. Cyril and Methodius preached to the Slavs and made the early Cyrillic Alphabet. St. Vladimir adopted Christianity in Rus'.
That is about all that I can come up with at the top of my head.
