  • I saw this thread come back on an awesome day, so I thought I would comment. I went to Vespers, held by OCF (Orthodox Christian Fellowship), for the first time today. The Abouna was of the Greek Jurisdiction, but I must say it was awesome. Our pray…
  • Sorry just as a side note: It is important to understand the language we are using. With the terms such as "Deutrocanonical", "Apocrypha", and "Canon", two opposing sides must be taken to understand the meanings. I hope this make sense, because it…
  • So that people can pray in their language of understanding? Until we can all speak Coptic this is a great, great work! God bless your ministry, perserving the tunes of our church in their own dialect :)
  • If you are using Google Chrome, I have no clue why it does it like that. I have the same problem, and still trying to figure it out. I noticed that even when we type in Word, it does the same thing. If someone knows how to fix this it would be grea…
  • Go to the website: http://www.hazzat.com/Fonts/tabid/61/Default.aspx Download the folder at the bottom called "All Coptic Fonts" Once it is downloaded, unzip the folder, and Select All (Command + A)  Open "Font Book" --> you can find it in …
  • I have been looking for one I used to refer to, but this one seems to very close to it. I hope it helps :) http://rosemck1.tripod.com/bible.html
  • Both of these schools are established and have been running and growing for a few years. All three of Abounas at St. Mark are thrilled at the good gifts of God :) They always have employment openings since they keep going. Here are the links to b…
  • Is this a serious question?
  • Alrighty guys new strategy!! You can vote up to 5 MORE TIMES! A total of 10 times for the two Coptic Schools. Underneath the voting, there are more options for more votes: Sharing on Facebook gives you another star Sharing on Twitter gives you ano…

  • Of course people are getting divorced. But our God is a God of love as we know. If the result of a marriage is divorce we know it didn't come from God to begin with, and even if it did it sure didn't stay that way. How can we blame divorce on trusti…
  • But isn't that distrusting God with the situation? I feel like that's saying Oh God is just gonna tell me the same things as usual its my turn to go out and do this on my own. I don't think that's the way he'd have it. And I disagree about the FOC. …
  • Haha I'm no Fr. Peter, but I'm following. It seems very interesting :)
  • Hola, My personal opinion is simple I guess. This isn't a matter we need to worry about. If God's will for us is to find someone, they will come our way without needing to constantly and actively be on the hunt. I feel like when we're "on the hunt"…
  • Yeap, my Abounas always make announcements at the time. They have been announcing to the congregation about this project every liturgy so do what ever you can to spread the word. We all have families of never ending loud Egyptians :) they can finall…
  • Sorry about that, it's fixed :) VOTE VOTE VOTE!!
  • http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/1175 Pray for me.
  • Guys, I don't think this is that serious of a topic. The idea of getting a tattoo won't upset God for the purpose of tattooing. We have to just be honest with ourselves. What are our intentions, and the heart behind our motives. Also I think it is i…
  • I think we have to clarify something. We aren't talking about Coptic Orthodox Churches in the UK. They pray the same liturgy as we do here in the US. The only difference is their funny English accents  ;D :P This thread is speaking about the Litur…
  • I think it differs with congregations. I know both of my Abouna's Mention HH Patriarch Antonious and Patriarch Mar Ignatius Zakka in every liturgy. We have to be praying for our fathers of sister churches to shepherd their flocks in Christ :) Pray …
  • I just wish this Pastor would put in all the effort he is putting into these rallies, to strengthen his flock in the Lord. When people see how Christ-Like Christians actually are, there would be no need for any of this. The world wouldn't be so clos…
  • This Hymn is Ti epistoli. This is the Mournful Pauline Epistle during the Sixth Hour of Good Friday. That specific recording used in the video is from St. Mark COC in Fairfax, Virginia. Recorded by Dr. Daniel El-Bogdadi. Here is the HICS recording…
  • Ehna ghalbaneen ya ragil :)
  • The way I've learned it, when we kiss our hands facing towards us, we are thanking God for what we received- taking it towards us with open hands. And when we kiss our hands facing out, we are thanking God for the trials or things we have now wanted…
  • Hahaha The whole Gad family is here! Oa3bal Thereza! And no worries Mary, just talk to Abouna Dafe, without holding back and just as you would to a friend. He'll guide you through it, and just let you get comfortable. He's a great guys and will ta…
  • Hey Chris! You sound like a great guy! I would love to get to know you. I'll meet you at church this weekend and we can talk about the books! And I'll probably be driving you to Philly :)
  • How old are you? I am in the same case and will take Arabic classes in college next semester, and thinking about minoring in it :)
  • Here you go: http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Praises/Vespers_and_Weekday_Praises/Ibrahim_Ayad_-_Fast_of_Apostles.html :)
  • Awesome dude, thank you so much God bless :) If anyone else has contemplations or spiritual articles on the rites of the day it would be great. Thanks guys :)
