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.
Is there anyone there?

Hi Anjelica, it has been a while. There is nothing quite like a real organ in a Chruch; we are fortunate to have one in ours! In a TV show back in the 70's, Yehudi Menuhin, a very famous violinist, did a program on music. He spoke of the Organ as being "the anonymous voice of God"; a good analogy.

Well being very strange, I have to read post by post in order and reply in the same fashion. Glad to hear the woman opened the doors for you. I'm just completely confused how churchgoing people can reconcile such behavior to those less fortunate with their faith.

Unfortunately Michie, churcgoing does not always equal faith. In a congregation of almost 600 you are always going to get those who do not exercise faith. In fact, this woman had obviously in the end been conscience stricken, which was why she then helped us with the doors the next day.
