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

Prayers please!

This summer, I will be starting my journey to the Diaconate (God willing!) and will be attending my first classes at seminary. (Holy Cross, in Brookline) Don't just pray for me, pray that the GOA does not collapse in on itself so that I can finish my studies!

Any advice/ comments would be welcome as well!

Glory to God in all things!

Prayers for you, and for the GOA and Holy Cross.

I'm nobody and try to keep my nose out of stuff, but it seems maybe this situation can be good for the GOA in the long run. Or at least in the next few years. We hope. God willing.

Well His Eminence Elpidophoros' name literally means "Bringer of Hope," so it's a start!
