  • 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I was somewhat relieved to read from a Church father, St. Jacob Baradeus of all people, a quote provided by Prof. Charmley here:

http://christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=41366979&postcount=4

Not only does this allude to Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians, but even Assyrian Christians. I wonder to myself and think if there are any other quotes anyone knows from our own Oriental Orthodox Church fathers that felt the uselessness in debating Christologies between Churches when all it turned out to be were terminological, not essential differences.

Thank you.

Mina

PS The quote by St. Jacob, was this a later quote towards the end of his life after all the disputes he suffered through?
