  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Peace and Greetings

A friend, from another denomination, suggested I join this forum. My name is Philip. I am both a cradle and a creedle Anglican from Australia. I did have a sojourn with the Lutherans at one stage, and I have a deep and profound respect for the Orthodox. I have a degree in Theology. I have a wife and the great children. I am a massive advocate of the Nicene Creed, and I struggle deeply with the filioque clause. I have some interest in theology and history, because if we don;t know where we have come from, how can we know where we are going? My current little research project is the English Church in the period 1054-1066, which is a narrow time slot bordered by two significant events.

Welcome to CF Philip :wave:

I have the feeling that you are going to fit well in some areas here :)

As well as some denominational areas in which I think you would be interested there is also Traditional Theology
http://www.christianforums.com/forums/traditional-theology.1149/

where the intention is that we talk and discuss things in a non-confrontational manner. We believe we can talk about the differences in our traditions [ Upper case and Lower case ;) ] respectfully.

Look forward to seeing you around

Thank you all for your welcome. I am enjoying the forum so far, and I feel very welcome. I am a little surprised to see how robust some of the discussion is, which probably indicates it is more real than nice. So thank you.
