• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Branches?! Sounds like something Anglicans would say.

Hahaha. I didn't make the meme myself (not a meme guy), but I thought the same thing.

I trust people here to sort of 'convert' it to their ecclesiology. Also, an Anglican would definitely be either Protestant or 'Anglo-Catholic', so it could also be sent to them.

I have a buddy at church who wants to make a fantasy series where the Empire is the good guys instead of the usual cliché of a democratic-republican rebellion struggling against an evil autocratic empire.

At the risk of being seen as pejorative... (I really do like y'all Trad Catholics!)
To be honest, it comes from a Catholic source so it is favoring Eastern Catholicism over the Western One.

As a fun fact: Seminarians in Russia are clean-shaved to represent immaturity.

Not particularly Orthodox, but I got it off an Orthodox meme page, and we can all relate.
