  • 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

In one congregation I attended (now ELCA), we had an assistant who did the singing and chanting for the pastor. Pastor couldn't sing to save his life. This individual would be called a Cantor by the Jewish. I don't remember what his title was, however, it was one of the most beautiful types of services I've ever attended.

I was a cantor in my home congregation before I went to sem. Our pastor there couldn't carry a tune in a paper sack, and he'd be the first one to tell ya that.
