  • 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

Thanks for all the nice comments.

The monastery is in Miami Florida. It was was built in 1133 and was occupied by Cistercian Monks for 700 years, but was brought over to America in 1925 by William Randolph Hearst. The monastery is now owned by St. Bernard de Clairvaux Episcopal Church.

If you guys are ever in Miami try to visit the monastery. It is such a peaceful place right in the middle of a urban area.

Lovely pics! I agree with everyone...the picture of the path is great. Just scrolling down that post of pics made me think they should be in a travel monologue or history pages. The pictures tell a story of sorts. And of course...they make you want to go there. :)
