  • 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.

Let me see if I understand. For a class you are required to retell a sacred story from the Bible. That sounds like a great assignment! :D

First of all, if there are any stories that are particularly meaningful to you, you should choose one of them. The parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke, the story of Tamar in Genesis 38, and the story of the Hebrew midwives at the beginning of Exodus are favorites of mine. But the last two are women's stories, so you might not feel as comfortable with them or understand them without the help of a wise older woman to explain a woman's understanding of them to you.

The stories of Paul and of Cornelius in Acts 9 and 10 are also favorites of mine, but to really tell them in a way that conveys their theological import you really have to know your scriptures well, preferable having the ability to read the original languages and know the parallel passages.

Stick to something simpler. One of Jesus' longer parables or something from the life of Joseph (the last part of Genesis) are excellent for a beginning storyteller.

We over at my house like to tell the story of Paul's shipwreck. There is an entire chapter in the Bible dedicated to this shipwreck story. Acts 27. The most sacred part is when Paul tells everyone "cheer up!" only the ship and all the cargo will be lost.

Is this a speech? If so how long and who is the audience?
