There is so much wrong information in this flow chart that I can write a 5 page rebuttal. I'll just point out one thing.

Zoxsasi,
It seems that unity between the OO & EO wouldn't solve your problem anyway -- since the "opera" style worship is too great a turn-off for you.
Unfortunately, I see only two options for you:
1) Petition for a Coptic Orthodox parish i…

Take the AP class - college credit is too valuable to pass up. The hours you spend on this class now will save you a lot more time in the future, since you can skip an English class (at least that's how it was for me).
As far as educational benefi…
InChrist7,
Please keep in mind that it was your declaration that this show was an "authentic Orthodox witness to Christ" (something even Marina doesn't claim) that sparked the long discussion that ensued.
Marina,
Thanks for the response. And I…
Very well put, RO.
Solidman,
I did not dodge your question, but perhaps my answer to it did not meet your expectations. You
should realize that your question and mine are not the same. You ask a question that merely requires
me to list things th…

Dear Marina,
Keep doing what you do; your show is a fun, accessible and authentic Orthodox witness to Christ.
God bless you.

RO has not posted on this thread. Monasticsx just has the same picture.

My mistake. I edited my post to correct it.
Pardon me, but I don't have any topic ideas.
But skimming a few episodes, I do have some concerns. If you are open to hearing them, I can share.
God bless the service.
Mina and Monasticsx, it seems we are on the same page, but LiD's original post indicates he was talking about abstaining from food: [quote author=LoveIsDeep link=topic=14146.msg162590#msg162590 date=1357909333]

This is just another way to get more people using copticworld.org
CopticWorld has not been shaping out to be what it was intended to be -- they've become a quick news source for events in Egypt, though they initially desired to be a networking site…
Are you telling me we are supposed to abstain from food ALL day on Wednesdays and Fridays?! This is honestly the first I heard of such practice. . .
Is there a rule you can refer us to, LiD? I was under the impression the duration of the period of …
This is certainly a difficult situation you are trying to resolve. The problem is more likely one of pride (her not wanting to be told what to do) -- rather than the priests being "know-it-alls". . .the difficulty is getting her to realize that the …

servant33,
great idea! Unfortunately, both my Arabic and Coptic are weak. But, I hope others can join you.

Amoussa01,
As a follow up question. . .what about when there is a liturgy on a non-fasting day besides Sat/Sun. . .e.g. Thursday?
Do we pray al el orban or apinav shopi?
Thanks.
