Hi there You would always be best speaking to a priest one to one on something like this. What do you mean by marrying a deacon? Do you mean a full deacon or one of the minor ranks of servants, or a choir member? God bless you

As I said, I will not argue with you, but you are gravely mistaken.
-
Your main argument, and these other points are side matters, is that the Eastern Orthodox do not have the Orthodox Faith and should be baptised. This is the main issue I will be addressing, in the context of the ancient and Traditional practice of …

I am not going to argue with you. I will finish my paper and allow it to argue for me. I will say that I believe you to be in error.

It is impossible to deny that those who did not hold Trinitarian heresies were never baptised. They were received as being already baptised. If you insist on rejecting this statement then I will make it again and manifestly support it with referenc…

Pilate is a saint in the Ethiopian Church but not in the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria. It already works like that. There are lots of saints that I venerate that Egyptians have never heard of. There has never been a universal calendar of saint…

The trouble is that 'accepting Chalcedon' means many different things. The Definition is problematic, and personally I believe was not satisfactorily Orthodox in its creation. But it can be understood in an Orthodox manner. Accepting that the Defin…

I am a little disappointed that there have been 850 views of this thread but only a handful of sponsors have come forward. Has anyone spoken to anyone about this? Even if they are unable to participate themselves? Has anyone spoken to their priest …

A prosopic union is such as Theodore of Mopsuestia proposed (and his followers). Prosopon has the sense of face or mask, and so Christ is understood as being the manifestation of the Word of God in the man Jesus. We see the Word of God in a sense wh…

Hi Remnkemi The Chalcedonian terminology is 'in two natures' and not 'out of two natures'. Indeed 'out of two natures' was rejected at Chalcedon. The issue is not the Christology of the Chalcedonians as it has been mediated through especially the c…

I do not wish to argue or present the fathers for criticism and so I will write a paper and make a pidcast to describe the Tradition of the Church, as I did with the issue of the soul after death when some were denying the Tradition on that issue. I…

Can you help to Sponsor a Coptic Student If you cannot, will you speak today to someone who could? The Sponsor a Coptic Student project is seeking to raise sponsor funds to allow Coptic Orthodox in Egypt to join the online, distance learning cours…

All of the Eastern Churches fell under the control of Muslims.

It rather depends entirely on what you mean by Chalcedon. Do you mean the council as a whole, the Doctrinal statement, the rejection of Eutychianism? Some of it is acceptable, some of it became acceptable and some of it remains unacceptable.
-
imikhail, there is little value in my responding to you. Your position is not only contrary to the Tradition but it is illogical. Person A says that this is an Apple Person B says that this is an Apple Person B says that Person A says it is an …

The Agreed Statement clearly and explicitly states that we believe the EO to have the same faith as us. It was the intention of all of our Synods to make this statement and they all have. If you do not believe me when I speak of the teaching of S…

If a policy is an innovation and against the Tradition then it should not be followed. The BOC is a traditionalist diocese. Metropolitan Bishoy is not the authority on inter-Church relations. The Holy Synod is and it has already stated that the Eas…

The Tradition in England is that our Lord visited these islands when he was a youth, with his uncle, St Joseph of Arimathea, and that while he was here he built the Vetusta Ecclesia at Glastonbury, the 'Old Church', with his own hands, and which bec…

Thank you for sharing your experience Father. But are you supported entirely by the Church or do you have to provide by some other means for your family? I think that those clergy who do not habitually wear a cassock are usually those that have to …

I trim my beard. I have to work for a living and many of my clients want to employ a professional in my field of employment, and are not interested that I might be a priest. Beards tended to be popular among clergy and monks because it resisted th…

John Mason Neale is a significant figure in Western hymnography since he made it much of his work to translate the ancient hymns of East and West into English. Here is 'The Day of Resurrection', for instance, a text written by John of Damascus in t…

I am not sure I agree with chasing the taste of the 'contemporary Western ear' simply because current tastes are too much affected by a secular, and even anti-Christian element of culture. It is necessary, it seems to me, for the Christian to seek …
-
What do you mean by denominations? And do you mean that other Orthodox Traditions and local communities do not have the same faith as the Orthodox Church of Alexandria?

Why do you need to know?

The owners of the orthodox[mis]info site are not properly Orthodox but belong to various extremist schismatic groups. Their opinions are their own. I am presently in a serious and detailed discussion of Christology with very serious and tradtional …

I am still looking to find sponsorship for Egyptian and other students. I don't know if anyone here has mentioned this project to anyone? It would be helpful if you did. Please ask your priests and deacons to consider supporting this project. The …

Just in case any Copts are free this evening. We have a second study on the Church led by His Eminence Metropolitan Seraphim as part of our Orthodox London mission. We are meeting at St George in the East Church, 14 Cannon Street Road, London E1 0B…

If our EO brother can make it to England he will be made most welcome in my own congregation together with all the other EO who worship with us as One Orthodox Church in accordance with the teachings of our Fathers.

I am comfortable with the ancient Western Orthodox hymns being used in English, and translations of ancient Eastern hymns being used in English. I would be comfortable with Coptic hymns being translated to a high standard of English and being set to…
