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.

Wednesday 28th June - Uzbekistan
Since the May 2005 demonstations in Andijan city in the Ferrghana valley, the political, economic, and religious climates have deteriorated for the people, and the pressure on the church has become much worse. Police officers have interrogated many pastors, created extensive personal files on every Uzbek Christian leader, and attempted to close even registered churches. Give thanks for those Christian leaders who are determined to stay in spite of the persecution.

Thursday 29th June - Turkmenistan
Police in Turkmenistan's capital city, Ashgabat, broke up a Christian house group meeting on the 3rd of May, confiscating personal belongings and subjecting the group to extensive interrogation. They are now very fearful of further raids. Please pray that when they are afraid they will put their trust in the Lord and that he will deliver them from harm (Psalm 56).

Friday 14th July - Algeria
In March, President Boutefika of Algeria issued a presidential order convering the 'conditions and rules for the excercise of religious worship other than Muslim.' This new law will most likely restrict the freedom of the 10,000 christians. Pray that the law will not be carried out as strictly as it is on paper. Pray that the Lord will bless diplomatic efforts to have the law eased or even abolished.
