• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Might I add this GREAT lectionary site?

http://www.io.com/~kellywp/

Good site! I use it weekly for Bible Study. And also these lectionary study-sites:

http://divinity.lib.vanderbilt.edu/lectionary/ -- Vanderbilt University Divinity Library Revised Common Lectionary Site.
http://www.montreal.anglican.org/comments/ -- Anglican Diocese of Montreal comments on the RCL
http://www.episcopalchurch.org/5400_33946_ENG_HTM.htm -- RCL lesson plans

The following are not Anglican links per se, but are excellent resources for studying the weekly Lessons.

In an effort to link to major church and BCP sites, I forgot two of my favorite sites:

http://satucket.com/lectionary/Calendar.htm This is the Calendar of the Church Year, with all ECUSA-authorized commemorations of saints and feast days except movable feasts (tied to the date of Easter) listed. The main page is the church calendar; each listing is a link to a biography of the saint (or a short write-up on the feast) with lectionary and collect for the day.

http://www.oremus.org/hymnal/82.html Index to The Hymnal 1982. Links connect to pages on individual hymns which give the text unless copyright issues preclude doing so, the author, and generally a MIDI file of the music to which it is set. (Some of the MIDI files leave a bit to be desired musically. :()

I site i use often for a variety of reasons is www.wikipedia.org It is just a very good and concise online encyclopedia, and i've found it helpful at times to fill in basic gaps in my knowledge- religious or otherwise.

Hey Poly
I had never seen the Hymnal Index - THAT could come in handy-dandy.
:bow:

PS thanks for the rep/comment :D

Here are some Old Catholic and Anglican links that I've found interesting:

Old Catholic Church of North America - Father Rick's communion.

Polish National Catholic Church - a communion started by Polish Americans who were excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church, with bishops having an apostolic heritage through the Archbishop of Utrecht.

Father Tony Begonja's Guide to Autocephalous Churches - an outdated but informative website with many links to Old Catholic, Independent Catholic, and a variety of other kinds of bishops and churches.

Anglican Province of Christ the Good Shepherd - a Charismatic Anglo-Catholic communion.

Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches - a Charismatic Convergence communion with roots in the ECUSA.

Here's some cool links I have come across. This links to the C of E's online daily breviary:

http://www.breviary.info/office.html

This is the journal of St John's College in Durham. The current issue (summer 05) has lots of great articles on Tolkien, Pope JPII, and DaVinci Code (the latter is Tom Wright's take on it - if you're looking for a short article to debunk it without having to read a book, this is it).
