  • That logic doesn't follow at all. That's like saying the Orthodox Church isn't the true church because one of the Sacraments is the Unction of the Sick, and it never gave me this prayer? Or "The Coptic Church isn't the true church because I never r…
  • Anba Bola! Are you by any chance from Queens, and DC, and Kenya, and Philly, and almost everywhere else in the world? If you're not who you think I are, this is not going to make any sense :)
  • Are you working to please people, or a fiance, or are you following a passion that Christ has put on your heart? It is important for us to always be checking our intentions and constantly be under the will of our loving Father rather than worry what…
  • This would have to be Arsani Sidarous!! He has a website with some recordings of the hymns during the year. alhan.org Enjoy :)
  • Are there enough deacons to sing these hymns as a chorus? Or does it seem like it'll just be 2 or 3 deacons jamming on their own for 15 minutes? As I get older, I'm seeing both sides of the problem lol
  • What our priest did last year I think worked very well. After liturgy ended completely, i.e. the curtain of the Altar being closed, he came out and gave a little talk. He explained to them the conflict about linking the General Funeral with the end …
  • RIP Kerelos Makhloof. We love and miss you so much. Abouna Anthony is a blessing to our Orthodox Church. Let's not forget, a sermon can not be "Protestant-ish" unless it is inline with Protestant Theology. The same goes for a "Coptic sermon". Jus…
  • As stated before, our faith has been confirmed the same, from a Christological sense. I personally find it a passion of mine to truly unite. I think the first step of uniting is for individuals to stop being afraid of each others' churches and trul…
  • I would also love a copy of that. This is what I have: and http://www.stmarkla.org/index.php/media/40-holy-pascha-week-baramous If anyone has anything else, please share the love :) Pray for me to live in the presence of our Father always.
  • It is either "Megalo Parlex Apenshois" or "Gospel Response Days Lent" http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Hymns/Fasts/Great_Lent/Wagdi_Bishara/Great_Lent_-_Liturgy.html Hope I was able to help :)
  • I attended service with my Eastern Orthodox friends last night as they started lent today, and they prayed this prayer. It was a great service very similar to our Ninth hour in the Agpeya! I loved the response of St. Ephraim, I though it encompassed…
  • I wouldn't bash this too quickly. I have heard this same teaching from a Deacon who has studied in the Clerical College in Egypt. I think if it is being taught there, there is a bit more legitimacy and the answer should be a bit more researched tha…
  • Just a side note, Abouna Abraham in the video is not African but Egyptian American. He was trained by a Coptic Priest after his ordination. And to be honest there isn't really much of an "African tradition". They follow our exact liturgy, with the h…

  • Lol Abanoub, who are you talking about? The first person that came to mind was Marvel, tiny fob Mareez's little sister :) I love that family!
  • Minagir: Are the English Recordings according to the construction of SUS Diocese, or did you guys construct them yourselves? We will begin unifying our responses in our congregation, but the SUS recordings are really poorly made so I'm looking for …
  • Lol Chris there is more to Coptic than leading the Deacons. Alrighty guys, so no Nithosh, but how would be indicate North America as opposed to just America since these are two different regions. Thanks for all the help guys, and I'll be contactin…
  • Province, District, Bordered Land.
  • It literally translated to "The Northern Side". Kheet is plainly just the word for North.
  • Sorry, I will be honest and say I have not read the posts above, but please let me share my humble opinion. I think at this time of chaos, we have the BIGGEST opportunity to spread the name of Christ. Not by preaching or keeping ourselves to only h…
  • It is better to look at this Rite from a spiritual sense because it doesn't seem to carry much physical. There is nothing wrong with the woman, she has not committed any type of crime. This is a very Jewish thought of impurity, and the church doesn'…
  • Lol Abanoub, sorry I meant to comment earlier. I talked to the "creator" this morning and he has been thinking about it, and I told him to make sure Abouna D agrees with me to take it down, and he understood. It's taken care of  :) Tomorrow is t…
  • There aren't many of them, but of course they exist! I think they are a really important service in our church. In Kenya there are two Sisters serving the Maseno parishes and they are awesome! Sisters Barbara and Maria, and they serve the widows an…
  • Abouna David Milad from St. Mary's Baltimore is pretty much, the MAN.
  • Father Peter, I must say this is really awesome and I think very needed! I tried to register, but it told me there was an Internal Server Error. Is it bad on my part, or is the site just down? Pray for me, thanks Abouna. -Peter.
  • Hahaha Abanoub, its for preservants isn't it! Good luck tonight, and to be honest, Abouna Peter nailed it on the head. It's a great book, and the easiest thing for you now lol If you have questions, call me.
  • http://www.suscopts.org/q&a/index.php?catid=176 Your fellow Piece-of-Furniture, Tishori :)
  • These are awesome! Please keep them coming :) And I agree, amazing handwriting!
  • This is just speaking of the city where he was from. I looked at his entry in the Synaxarium but it only mentioned the city of "Nakiyos". My assumption is that this is the Greek pronunciation, or name for the city that we refer to as Fayiat. Please…
