  • 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.

Hello everyone! :)
I'm from Saint-Petersburg, Russia
Here, in Russia, 95% of russian ordinary people says steadily "I am believer, I am orthodox christians", but mostly there's nothing behind these words except self-determination :(

So, our protestant churches are half empty, although we have dozens of them! It's good when a church has 20-30 members every sunday. We have lack of real christian communication... in the city of 8 millions citizens...
So, please, PRAY for russian protestants, pray for russian people who really wants to believe in our God!
God bless you all!

By the few interviews I have seen of Vladimir Putin, he gives the impression of a strong leader, one who has a vision and sticks to it.
A vision of Peace.
He has a tremendous task on his hands, but I,m not an expert on politics,
it is just the impression he gives me.
Cannot help but couple him with the Words of King David;

"I am for Peace, but when I speak, they are for war."

Privyet vsem iz Rossii! :)

Gosh don't be so hard on yourselves with Christianity. Russians seem more Christian than most Western Europeans at least. Plus, Russia hasn't jumped on the bandwagon with homosexuality and all of that, which is good. I am not crazy about Putin, but it's clear that Russia has done well under his leadership and most people there support him, so I have no objections to him. Russia has its future ahead of it for sure.

По чему хочет любой Русский стать протестант?
Because missionaries brought them to a protestant denomination, or they have ancestors from protestant areas, perhaps?
