  • 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.

I love that image, regardless of the reputation of the company that sells it. I do prefer modern style iconography as opposed to Byzantine/Russian when it comes to Michael. In the older styles, he looks effeminate. I like that image because he looks tough.

Here is one of my favourites in the "old style" (Russian, I believe this one to be) and a website with a bunch of pictures of St. Mike.

Did you ever find an Icon that you liked enough to buy yet?:)

I'm not going to buy any until I move out. Religiousness is somewhat stifled in this household.

This site http://htmadmin.phpwebhosting.com/mounted.htm has a few that I am really interested in, such as

- St. Job the Much Suffering
- Ss. Cyril & Methodius
- Archangel Michael
- St. John Chrysostom
- St. Herman of Alaska

attached accordingly.

Those are just the ones I've looked at so far. :clap:

Too bad, but I know how it is. However, I didn't let it stop me from turning turning the basement into a Church.;)
