  • 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 like your dh's approach. I avoid dog collars like the plague but wear it when I absolutely have to. However, I also hate shirt and tie! Well, we do what we have to, eh?
Yeah - he's not a big fan of ties either. I think he only wears it to the early service. He wears suit and tie to weddings, and most funerals (except when he wears a collar).

Ok, I've been wondering this for a long time now, and I've been hoping to figure it out from context clues but now I give up.

What is a dh?

Here is a clue: you do not have a dh, you have a dw. Erin and I have dh's.


Clues?? Thats soooo wrong!

I'll assume h = husband and w = wife, but your clue isn't really helping me on the d. I'll go out on a limb and guess d = dear?

right - very... nice.... well not really. It's pretty gross.

Hey, are you into word games. I have been playing an excellent word association game/puzzle. It is a group game, where you can share where you are up to with other people, and help each other out. It's kind of fun.

If people are interested we could start a thread on it and do it together (although I am a fair way through it with some others). There are some parts where it is helpful to be up on US stuff, which is hard for me. But one of the group I am doing with it is American.

anyway - here's the link

I just tried playing that game and I got a message after my first guess. The message reads: Cheating attempt logged. So now I have a record. An internet record that states I'm a cheater!

I'm wondering what point is being attempted to be made by not wearing a dog collar?
No point at all is being made. It's all about how one feels about what one wears. eg. I do not like to draw attention to myself so I tend to like to blend into the crowd when I'm outside of church. However, since it is not a sin to dress in common clothing nor is it a blessing to dress clerically, I think it is fine to be yourself as best you can be and dress in what is both comfortable and suitable for the occasion. We should always remember that much of our clerical garb is merely the street clothing of yesteryear.

Another thing to remember Karen is that the opposite question is equally valid- what point is being attempted to be made by wearing the clerical collar?

I think our clergy only wear collars because 'the old people like it'.
...which is a lousy reason, I'm sure you'd agree.

Imagine where Anglicans would be if they did everything "because the old people like it". We would look like Continuers. Cool.

Funny how a essentially useless custom favoured by the elderly could be maintained and another equally favoured but more spiritual discarded. I don't need to give examples, but I'm sure you can think of a few yourself.
