[quote author=Fr. Kyrillos link=topic=13569.msg158578#msg158578 date=1344322787] Yes, that was Abouna Elia. When I saw him he was of course much older. He started out with Fr. Matthew the Poor at St. Macarius but later ended up at St. Bishoy (I don'…

Yeah, I would say that simply put, we are not in communion with the OO, and that was the need for the altar board. However, I think that is awesome that at least they were able to have their Liturgy on the monastery altar. I mean, they could hav…

[quote author=Fr. Kyrillos link=topic=13581.msg158570#msg158570 date=1344319656] For the record, if indeed you are speaking about a trip I made with some youth to the OCA Monastery in Manton CA (St. John of SF), then I just want to point out that I …

Just to get people more excited: I recently spent 7 months at an Eastern Orthodox monastery in Northern California, where I was planning on becoming a monk, but certain things happened and now I am back in the world. Anyways, I can tell you, in al…

I forgot to mention, too, that this epidemic is not only present in some Coptic Orthodox churches, but can also be witnessed at numerous Greek, Serbian, and Russian parishes in the United States as well.

[quote author=Martha link=topic=13598.msg158532#msg158532 date=1344220573] Dear Severian, I meant to offend no one. I want to be a servant to our Lord. It's not about being one church vs another. How would you feel in you went to a church, with a…

God bless you and stay strong! I am in the same boat as you, although it may take me quite a bit less time to pay off my debt. Still, though, it IS tough! I am also reminded of something Pope Shenouda once said to Fr. Lazarus Saint Anthony: "If …

I should learn to do it. I have friends that know how to make prayer ropes, it's just I've never learned. Did you make them with the synthetic material? I'm more a fan of the cotton prayer ropes myself. ;)

^That's also an option^ Though it would be assumed that you're living the life of an Orthodox Christian in addition to saying the Jesus prayer.

Does anyone on this board go to St. Mark in Englewood, CO? I would like to go but would rather go expecting to meet someone there. Also, I'm not sure when the services are because their website is down and the phone number doesn't get through to a…

Isn't it possible to just, ahem, "move on": Leave Chalcedon where it is -- in 451 AD-- and start from what theologians are discussing now? Can't there be a new starting point, or must we deal with anything other than removing the anathemas of Chal…

[quote author=Severian link=topic=13579.msg158396#msg158396 date=1343873076] Well, to get you started, there are the writings of OO Fathers like Sts. Severus of Antioch, Saweres Al-Ashmonein, and Philoxenus of Mabbug/Hierapolis, which can be read on…

Of course, the last thing I want to do is to start attending a Coptic Orthodox church that is overrun by crypto Protestants. :-\ But we shall see; Fr. Yacob Soliman at St. Mark here in Englewood seems to be very solid in an Orthodox way.

[quote author=venado link=topic=13574.msg158355#msg158355 date=1343780420] I chose the Coptic Church and Oriental Orthodoxy because it is the purest form of Christianity. It brings people close to the foundations of the Christian Church and its wors…
