  • 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.

Thank you so much! I cannot accept your thanks yet. You ahve provided with some fine Lenten reading.

:clap:

God Bless

I thank all those sincerely-seeking people who took the time to read all that has been typed up on this thread - nearly all of the lecture of "What We Believe" in the Orthodox Church. I hope and pray you found it enlightening, edifying, and a refreshing perspective of true Christianity. God bless! :wave:

I will be downloading each of the 12 DVDs in the next few days. It takes a while to download them. Each video is nearly an hour to nearly two hours long, when including the Q and A sessions. Please stay tuned for the first video coming soon. :)

sounds awesome. it seems that these lectures would make a sweet AFR specials podcast (if they aren't there now).

just sayin

They would, Matt, but it was done in the mid 1990s by Fr. Anderson, who is back in the Byzantine Catholic Church because of the Ben Lomand mess back then in CA, but he is excellent in the video and I called him a year or so ago and told him I enjoyed his lectures. :D
