  • 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.

Hi,
my school is starting a christian union and I really want to be a part of it (as an older student) to help younger students bring God into their lives. The union is student-lead and from what I can tell there isn't much planned. I am worried that it could just be very cringey and fall apart fast and I think we need to start it really well to get people interested.

My school is a christian school but most students are sikh, hindu, muslim or atheist and (being british) people are uncomfortable talking about God. What I'm trying to say is, taking God seriously in a christian sense is not seen as "normal" and I'm afraid of scaring people off by being too "into it" but anxious to use this club wisely and not ignoring the personal faith side of things.

Students will be of a variety of church denominations and ages (10-18) and some may be very serious christians while others are just coming along out of curiosity.

Please can anyone help me come up with ways of making this club a success?
Thank you!
Isla
