• 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.

I loved this. It's probably a very good thing for newbies in the Orthodox Church to read as sort of an introduction to spiritual life. I wanted to recommend it to a new member of our Orthodox Christian men's group but couldn't remember the title. Thanks Melily.

You’re welcome. I was Melily but got off social media during Lent and my phone got hacked so I had to create a new account!

Yehhh! Trying to get all of my ducks in a row, so to say.

one of my seminary professors said stick close to Chalcedon and Maximos, and your Orthodoxy will not waiver.

THE RELIGION OF THE APOSTLES -- OTHODOX CHRISTIANITY IN THE FIRST CENTURY by Fr. Steven DeYoung.

It was the book that Fr. David used in the catechism classes. Since I missed a few classes, I thought it a good thing to get the book and read it.

I thought it was a really good one from my catechumen perspective.
