  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Had to look up your bdate to see what kind of time frame we were talking about here..... LOL

Henri Nouwen
Umberto Eco

hmm no Americans..... go figure

3 people of the 20th-21st century whom you would call "statesmen"

"Our time" is now. It has nothing to do with my age. ;)

Ronald Reagan
John F. Kennedy
John Glenn

The word "Statesmen" is specifically gender biased however. And, as such, I take exception to it. It is antiquated thinking to relegate leadership in national or international affairs, and promoters of the public good to the male of the species exclusively.

Name 3 American Women who through speaking with wisdom and grace have inspired you.
