• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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 well remember the time [ actually the first time ;) ] I saw a censor being 'swung' was in the Romanian Orthodox Church in London - as I said to my GodPapa after wards - I've seen the glowing charcoal in the censor for the very first time . Yup it had been swung waaaaay above the priest's head :D

yes, when you cense on the last movement, you move your wrist in a circle, so the censor smoke comes out parallel to your previous swing, making the smoke form a cross.

Oh my ... that was a really good laugh! I'm afraid I must steal this one ... :D

My GodPapa says it's more fun if you grease them well first :D :D

Did I ever say he had a wicked sense of humour :p ?

My dad made that cartoon while he was a student at Saint Vlad's. I animated it as best I could without adding additional frames of my own devising. Saint Vlad's had some flamboyant censing back in the late 70s....

This either proves there is a God ... or isn't one, depending on your point of view. ;)

A combination Dunkin' Donuts / Baskin Robbins 31-flavors ice cream - all with drive-through convenience!
