Nice. I have a sister who is a big Tolkien geek. She hasnāt read The Silmarillion yet, but yeah.
EDIT: Well, I know for sure that sheās a geek when it comes to Middle-earth stuff, but I donāt really know if sheās very well-knowedged in Tolkienās other works.
Hey, welcome to the forum!
I wish I knew more about Tolkien, but I loved the movie trilogy (The Hobbit trilogy was fun but forgettable) and Iāve been enjoying The Rings of Power so far at least.
Oh howdy, itās great to see you here! Iām so glad I was able to indirectly show you this place <33
Hello my name is Lupa and i am an ordained pastor. I have a small ministry in the furry fandom https://pawsofloveunited.online.church/ if you wanna chack it out! nice meeting you all! God bless!
Oh hey thatās super cool! Itās awesome having pastors in the community. :3 What kind of church do you have? Do they know youāre a furry?
Yes they do! We are a furry based online congregation. We believe that no matter who you are and were your story is that one deserves to walk with the lord
Welcome to FFC! Itās nice to see a furry congregation online; theyāre pretty rare.
I definitely agree there! 
Do you ever deal with people who donāt like a pastor being a furry?
Welcome!
Ooo, Canadian Bible, eh?
Canadian Bible? Whatās that refer to?
Ayyo- nameās Tempo. 23 years and have been a follower of Jesus for as long as I can remember (though Iāve gotten my life back on track this past year and have been more actively pursuing him as weāre called to do). I wonāt go into all of the personal details here, but Iāve known about this forum since I was 17 actually (when I first found the fandom) and decided in my pursuit of answers and (hopefully) closure on a deep and personal topic that I would finally bite the bullet and stick my head in the doorway.
Oh hey, welcome! I think our stories are fairly similar to some extent! :3 Though Iāve been around a bit longer. Welcome! Itās great to have you!
Hey all!
My name is Nour, and Iāve been a Christian (non-denominational) since birth, recently having experienced major growth in my walk with Christ. I am a part time staff member at my church, and my hobbies include piano, Rubikās cubes, and photography. Although I have known about this fandom for a bit now, I have only just convinced myself to try and participate due to some past trauma around the topic. I was so thankful to find that there are other Christians who participate in this fandom!
Hey, welcome!
Youāre welcome here! I do hope you can feel safe and be yourself!
Iām a pianist too! What style do you play?
Hey Sleet!
Thank you for the warm welcome! I typically play modern worship songs, but Iād love to learn jazz at some point.
Oh wow, jazz is hard! You gotta learn a lot of theory.
Thatās very fair! It does help that I seem to have a decent bit of extra time at the minute. What about you, what style(s) do you play?
Hey, I donāt mean to clog up the wrong chat, but is the telegram down? I tried joining but the link seems to be dead.
My bad! Hereās the link: Telegram: Contact @FursForChrist
Mostly classical, though if I had people to play with I liked playing jazz/blues/rock!
