Don't stop learning, If you learn than you can eventually teach if need be and hymns you don't usually say can become more common at your church, people will get used to it. Do it gradually. Don't expect to sing every hymn you are supposed to and pe…

Not in the same rite however.

Imikhail is referring to the Morning Doxology that is to be said INSTEAD of the regular watos and adam beginnings to the verses of the cymbals, followed by the verses for the feast only on the 3 Lordly feasts that are conducted at night. That is the…

This problem is not very hard to fix. If the liturgy say ends at 1 or 2 and agape(in general) after. If you give them an hour to eat and come back after that(assuming the whole congregation stays) you can pray the general funeral in the paschal rit…

Father Peter, Does the BOC have the same rites during holy week? Obviously the hymns may not be the same and liturgy on great thursday may not follow the same rites but is the general "skeleton" if you will the same as our rites? Do your prayers f…

I actually don't feel that he takes his time as much as others.

I disagree. Abouna Yassa Rizk and Abouna Bola Malek are awesome.

Ophadece, While laziness may play a part, its not the major reason. This pronunciation if supported by the Synod will not find as much resistance. People want an authority saying do so or move forward with this than to be in a limbo like state in …

CopticStrength, No matter where you go this will come up. Its part of society(whether we want it to be or not) and unless you are going to be a nun/monk then I don't think this can be completely avoided. What you can do is stay strong in your belie…

Well said FR. Peter. @ jydeacon, FR. Shenouda was asked why he tolerates people less knowledgeable than him bashing him and sometimes cursing him, and he replied: "i am Christian and Christianity taught me to preach what is true ONLY" Oujai I'm n…

Thats really irrelevant. When OB is decidedly the dialect of the church then we can push it forward. But trying now only causes confusion.

Father Peter, While I do not always support GB pronunciation necessarily it is in fact the dialect the church uses, "Correct" or not. It is the standard pronunciation. I think it would be beneficial for you to learn GB for purposes of a start to th…

TITL, While I do agree that being the Diaspora has allowed people to be more involved in the church, I don't agree that technology was necessarily a factor in people growing "faster" if you will. Think back to the history, the people who left Egypt…

Imikhial, You said: What is the criteria we should possess to make any assessment about any topic? I don't think there is a set of criteria. The only thing I hold as criteria is if you are a cantor or not. If you aren't then don't say one canto…

No it doesn't. They do this to anyone who confesses/asks to be prayed for including girls. Never seek ranks, they must be given to you, not something that is sought.

I was not directing my post directly to you. I appreciate what you bring to this forum, but at the same time we can express what we believe without cutting others down. I do not think anyone is beyond reproach far be it from that, however I feel lik…

I find it really sad when people have come down to arguing over ONE hazza. I'm all for preservation of hymns and for sure the most correct way to say it, but this is ridiculous. You are going to lose the purpose of chanting the hymn if you are that …

You need realplayer not quicktime.

TITL and mina have hit the nail right on the head. Especially since this is long distance. Relationships like this only lead to heartache ;). No need to put yourself in harms way by your own hand.

Ioannes, while I hope you understand that I am not agreeing that what happened was ok, not all egyptians or churches are like this. They are a bit closed off to "outsiders" if you will but I think that would be natural simply because of the culture.…

It depends on what the priest/bishop of the area decides. We are not in communion with them so technically we don't consider their baptisms valid...

Cyril, thats correct.

[quote author=Cyril97 link=topic=11101.msg134260#msg134260 date=1301273153] I have a question concerning baptism. If you are a Catholic and baptised, would you get baptised agains if you become orthodox? God bless, Pray for me, Cyril [/quote] Yes,…

Wow! I have not looked at that statistics page in a long time! Looks like im still in the lead for most time spent on the site :P But Father Peter is catching up very quickly!

I am having the same issue as well. I just typed up a post and I got a message saying that my post has been flagged as spam.

[quote author=dzheremi link=topic=9640.msg133968#msg133968 date=1300997970] [quote author=T✞TL link=topic=9640.msg133959#msg133959 date=1300993700] If I sinned, I would still take communion then make an appointment to confess. [/quote] Hmm. Is this…

I have been following this discussion closely, very interesting! Im not a linguist nor a specialist in these matters so I will not really divulge into the discussion at hand. But to answer this: Can you please provide an example of a hymn that you …

I misunderstood, I believe they are referring to the parts the priest prays in coptic.

Ilovesaintmark is saying that 10% of 10% = 1%. You said this: [quote author=T✞TL link=topic=10814.msg133822#msg133822 date=1300914825] then it'll count as part of my 10% of tithes. [/quote] Tithes are 10% or more. The way you worded it, you are …
