  • 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.

Good luck finding a Reformed Anglican Church today, the Calvinist/Arminian divide and union between the two, just does not seem to work where people are concerned. It's curious and interesting, sounds great in principal but in practice...I have doubts. Be like finding a Calvinistic Methodist Church today...a rare jewel indeed!

From what I've read most Anglican churches labeled Reformed lean toward Pentecostalism.

Strange, mighty strange...somehow doubt the Calvinistic Anglicans of old had those leanings especially considering the period of time when Pentecostalism as a movement came into Church history...sigh...so always Reforming isn't necessarily a good principal...though hope for correction remains.

I've been attending an Anglican Church for a long time now. I might as well become a member. The biblical liturgy, the prayers, the worship, all of it has been positive. The Church I've been attending has a liberal priest but he doesn't allow his liberalism to enter into the homily or worship and follows the Anglican Forumlaries but this parish exists in a bubble, the rest of Anglicanism has been infected with liberalism, that is a concern. For now I'll continue to attend.

Yours in the Lord,

jm
PS: I'm even taking part in Lent this year!
