  • 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.

David Copperfield brought tears to my eyes, especially because of the treatment David had at the hands of his stepfather.

Several years ago, pre-Harry Potter, the story was shown in a 2-part series on tv here in the UK, with Daniel Radcliffe and Maggie Smith both starring. Daniel played David Copperfield as a boy and Maggie Smith was Betsy Trotwood - both brilliant performances.

"If You Want To Walk on the water you've got to get out of the boat" by John Ortberg

I've seen that book, but haven't read it. It sounds like a book with a challenge. Are you also on the About.com Christianity forum?
