• 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.

  • 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 have been attending church and myself and a few other woman in the congregation have got some comments from others in Congregation that we should not be singing the hymns in a classical style. I sing that way in choir and that is way I feel most comfy singing, it has never been an issue in the years I have attended church. Do you have any advice.

Megan Welcome to CF Hope you find your times here rewarding.

There's a couple of forums that might interest you. Under the main category of "Christian Communities," there's "The Ancient Way" and under "Christian Living," there's "Praise and Worship Music."

Welcome! Definitely jump over to the Orthodox forum, The Ancient Way. We have others who are in choirs in the Orthodox Church and would love to chat (myself included).

Welcome to CF! :)

Here is the forum for Christian advice. You’ll likely get more replies there.
