  • 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.

I'm not sure when there was the last Way Back When thread, but I think it's a good thing to have on a regular basis - just to escape if only for a minute, when everyday living is crushing in. Why post in this forum? I believe reflecting upon experience leads us into deeper fellowship with Jesus and within the Christian community, applying the brakes in order to experience a slingshot to propel us into the next 5 seconds, five minutes or five hours.

Way back when I was at university, I had a great Final Year - the end goal was in sight, I had great accommodation where I watched out of my kitchen window fox cubs playing, ducks bathing in the brook, with my fabulous university 30 mins walk in one direction and a fabulous church 45 mins walk in the other direction. This environment lifted my spirit and I wish for a minute I was back there again.
