• 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.

From the website Test of FAITH

"There is a huge need for accessible materials on science and Christianity for everyone who is interested in these issues. With the Faraday Institute starting up at the beginning of 2006, this was the ideal opportunity to fill the gap.

After some initial research and development of trial materials by Ruth Bancewicz, a grant proposal was submitted to the John Templeton Foundation. This resulted in some pilot funding in February 2007, and Contrapositive came on the team to work up a proposal for the film.

In October 2007 the project really kicked off, supported by a grant from the Templeton Foundation, and filming and writing started. Research Assistant James Crocker joined in 2008, and the rest is history …

The Test of FAITH DVD, book and course materials are now available from Paternoster (UK) and Wipf and Stock (USA), with supporting materials online. Church service, youth and schools resources are also available. Work is in progress on further online resources and the kids project."


I've been watching some of the videos and have found them very interesting and thought provoking. Lots of strands there for us Christians to untangle. Looking forward to reading the accompanying book...
