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.

Aww i hoped someone would start a thread on this so I didn't have to!!! I loved it, full of songs from my childhood with a fabulous message! It wasn't perfect, there was definitely some cringworthy singing and dodgy acting (the two thieves in the back of the van!) There was no oscar worthy acting or refined clipped british accents. No drawling john-wayne-like centurians. It was raw, human, emotional, confrontational, controversial. I especially loved how they dressed "Jesus" in the orange jumpsuit with a bag over his head and led him off to be crucified offscreen. It was great how the people literally carried the cross through the streets of manchester. I loved how rather than being associated with Jesus the revolutionary who stood up the the marginalised, we were assicated with Pilate, the one who just followed orders. I loved how the songs took on a whole new wealth of meaning when fit with the story of Jesus.
