  • 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.

To Missy:

The AME Church may have the two Sacraments you mentioned, Baptism and Communion, but I think if you trace the history back far enough, you'll probably find the concept of excluding marriage from the Sacraments is based upon Luther's teachings.

I do understand that the Episcopal and then the later Methodist denominations are a result of the breach caused by Henry VIII's argument with Rome. However, the CONCEPTS proposed by Luther and later non-Catholic leaders began to intermingle.

ALL family histories are fascinating to research, whether it is human families or religious families or even scientific thought families!


Peace be with you,
~VOW
