• 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.

Christ Is Risen!

Greetings. It's been several months since I last visited this forum. And may be a while before I do so again. No offense, but I relish live contact to reading letters.

Any way, I thought I'd stop by and give you an update as to my journey.

I am still "just" a catechumin. however, my 13 year old son is now a chrismated member. I am waiting on my wife, as many of you will recall. That wait appears to be coming to an end.

Certain things have prompted her willingness to move, not the least of which are things that she is seeing with her own eyes as to the novelty of the protestant sect she is in. (A statement she told me was made in a recent SS class: "Too bad there's not a way to worship God that transcends cultural labels and focuses only on God." She about choked.)

As it is, we are becoming an Orthodox family. And for that I praise God.

Peace.

Peter
