  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Churches are closed here in the U.S. midwest for a winter storm. Brrrrr.... Anybody else?

    There you go crushing my dream of building a liturgical underwear empire. :grinning:

    Anyone up for a chat thread?

    I wonder if there is a market for long thermal underwear in liturgical colors? It could be the next big thing in clerical garb. :scratch:

    What Did You Get Last Sunday?

    I always take the chalk but never end up chalking my door. Am I a bad Episcopalian? Should I seek a lower parish without chalk? :sorry:

    Trump admin. revises 'food pyramid' to prioritize protein, veggies; Americans urged to 'eat real food'

    I was in the butcher shop before Christmas. I could not believe the price per lb. of meat. I'm not sure America can afford that pyramid, especially with U.S. cattle production now at all-time low.

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    Yep, it raised my eyebrow. I wondered if I was the only one that noticed that.

    Liturgical colors

    We were high church, Anglo-Catholic so no doubt we needed the finery. ^_^

    Liturgical colors

    Thank you for the information. I think we must have gone to Ukraine for ours. I don't remember the exact amount, but I remember being stunned. It is common for the church to own the vestments instead of the priest?

    Landmark Dallas UMC church gets OK to keep LGBT rainbow-painted steps painted to protest governor

    I am not a fan of .gov messing with the church, and that has nothing to do with rainbows. I like the decision.

    Is Greenland the reward?

    Trump trying to out-Putin Putin. Greenland, Canada, Venezuela. Kingdom building. God help us all.

    What Did You Get Last Sunday?

    My former parish did the chalk distribution. No mention in my current parish with lower churchmanship and less Anglo-Catholicism mixed in.

    Can a faithful Christian be damned for not being baptized?

    That is above my pay grade to speak for what Christ would require. Seems to me when you are the God and Father of all, you can require pretty much anything you please...or extend any grace you please.

    Can a faithful Christian be damned for not being baptized?

    John baptized. Christ was baptized. Why not the thief? Interesting theory you offer, but I think it is only a theory, or maybe even wishful thinking. I think baptism was not required for the thief because Christ did not require it. God will save whom He will.
