• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm 'Mark' for all purposes, from Saint Mary of Egypt, in early 20's. Seeker because it feels dishonest to list as Christian of any sort for now. From a 'Census Christian' background (nonexistent church life but aware that we're vaguely Protestant), curious for Eastern Orthodoxy for several years, among other things.

I registered because asking a thousand questions to Google and myself everyday won't get me anywhere, that I'm better off finding answers from people who can call themselves Christians without a doubt inside or out, who have lived that way for years or decades.

Welcome Mark, I'm an EO catechumen myself. There's an EO subforum here; feel free to introduce yourself there as well and ask any questions.

Dear Mark, I was baptized as a baby in the Catholic Faith, a long time ago, but God in His Mercy has kept me and my husband in His Love. I was happy to read your "messages to google" went nowhere -- because there is only one Truth to depend on: the One Who created you -- God! He is the One to Trust! I believe by His Grace: He is Love and Truth. MariaChristi
