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.

The Resurrection of the Church in Albania by Jim Forest. Forest interviews and tells the stories of 20 or so individuals involved in the rebuilding of the Orthodox Church in Albania. Albania was the world's only official atheist state (they persecuted religion worse than China.) All religion was outlawed and all places of worship were closed and all religious activity became underground. There are some very inspiring stories in these pages.

I just finished off a couple of star wars books, and started to read Resurrection Day by Glen Meade. It's about a terrorist attack in washington... I'll see what happens... I dunno, it's a fairly thick book.

Yep!! There's also a new book about American History, that I saw today, but I can't remember what it was called.

Two things:
1) Exploring the Inner Universe by Fr. Roman Braga, a Romanian Orthodox priest that was imprisoned for his religious beliefs for 11 years by the communists. Most of the book is the trascript of an interview with him. The rest of it is two articles written by Fr. Roman.
2) Do What You Are, a book that's supposed to help you discover your career path. It has all kinds of questionaires and stuff in it. Don't know if it'll help, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

"War and Peace" and "The Lord of the Rings". I made it my reading aim this year to finally read W&P, and am not going to make it! I still have about a quarter of it to go, and only 2 months! 
The Lord of the Rings I decided to read again after seeing the last of the film trilogy, to see how true to the books the films were. I have been very strict with myself, not letting myself start anything new until I plough through these two, but unfortunately, I haven`t been so good about not BUYING anything new! 
So now I have a HUGE pile of lovely new books begging to be opened...........

I don't know about everybody else, but I'm easily distracted. I'll start reading one book, then buy a new one that I want to read right away, then decide that I want to read a particular book in order to be able to teach it....It all just snowballs resulting in a beside table filled with a bunch of books that I'm reading at once.

Sorry, Glorianna - it`s a bad habit I`ve always had, and my 10 year old daughter looks like she`s getting it from me. She always has her nose in a book, and usually is reading 2 or 3 at a time, with a pile waiting for her

Right now I am reading
The Madness Season by CS Friedman
A problem from Hell by Samantha Powers
Speaking my Mind by Tony Campolo

I've actually read up to 10 or so at a time. Upside is you get alot of different stuff, downside is it takes forever to finish anything.Glorianna said:What's with everyone reading more than one book at a time?
