  • 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.

Quite interesting from a theological & an environmental perspective, how a priest can buy a block of unwanted land, turn it into something beautiful, and let that be a model of how God can do the same with an unwanted person & bring out something beautiful.


There's a LOT of stories about redemption (thank God!), but to just grab one that is remarkable & not well known, here's a little article that goes along with finding beauty in undesirable people--or rather, people desired for the wrong reasons, people who have lost sight of their own beauty...
