• 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.

Greetings!

Somehow I managed to get over here (I think via a linked post), so I figured I'd set up shop here. I'm not sure where I'll go with this, as I see a lot of features that will require accustomization.

Here's the short version of my details: Christian since June 1996, currently a catechumen in the Orthodox Church (Antiochian Archdiocese; should be joining sometime later this year), married five-plus years, proud father of two precious little girls, living in the Grand Rapids area. The details requested for my bio and "testimony" will be filled out over time (the latter's a bit complicated).

So anyway, hello to all!

In Christ,
-Thor

:wave:Welcome to CF! There's something for everyone here. It's an amazing, complex place.


Something that helped me a LOT when I joined was to go to my Control Panel at the top of the page, and go to Edit Options. About three screens down you'll see some options to add titles and URLs for the "Custom Navbar". As you find forums on CF that you want to participate in, put their URL as one of your custom navbar URLs. That way, it will show up on the top of your screen each time you visit, and will act as a quick shortcut to the forums you visit the most.

I look forward to getting to know you as you post in the community!

Thanks! I had put up some external links, but I hadn't thought about links to specific forums. I suspect I'll largely just be in the Ancient Way forum, but I may end up elsewhere from time to time.
