  • 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.

A church I was attending in Orange county CA '95ish every year had a living last supper. 13 men of the church dressed in period costumes would be seated in the last supper tableau as the members began to arrive. They held the pose for some minutes until the sanctuary was settled.
One by one the disciples would stand up, move to the front of the table, introduce themselves and say something about themselves and end with, "The master said one of us would betray Him we all said "Is it I lord, is it I?"
One of the "disciples" had been practicing his lines as he drove somewhere with his young son in a car seat in the back seat. When he got to the last line "Is it I Lord is it I?" He heard a sound from the back seat, he looked, his son was pointing at his eye saying "This eye daddy, this eye."
