  • 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!

Hello all!

I just wanted to introduce myself. For some time I have considered myself a Christian and was quite content not going to a church after being let down by the Church of Christ (not the UCC). That was about 8 years ago.
I was introduced to and became interested in the Messianic movement so hopefully you will understand if I occasionally refer to Jesus as Yeshua.

However after much praying over the last few days I believe I have been called to the Episcopal church. It really is quite the departure from what I was introduced to when I was younger in the CoC but I have been doing some lurking here and I do "think" I know what to expect. This coming Sunday will be my first time in a Episcopal Church and am greatly looking forward to it.

I also know much of the issues that the ECUSA is going through and I accept that. Despite the controversies, I genuinely feel this is the Church I need to be a part of. The Church I will be calling home.

All that being said, I look forward to getting to know others here and some lively conversations.

God bless. :pray:

Welcome home, mfaust. :wave:
