jg's source is the best to read if you want to understand it betters: http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/200113.htm sorry about the old english, they obviously translated it some time back. in short, jg is right. i have also heard coptic orthodox pr…

your brother wants to go to med school? i hope he realises it is a tough life, but a beautiful one. i hope he is not looking for comfort or riches, as he will find neither! but it is one of the ways we can serve God, and if he wants many challenges …

yes. 'very early sunday morning, while the guards were still asleep, Jesus has risen in glory, victory, no more defeat'! :)

in english, it's 'very early sunday morning' and i love it lots and lots. it's here in english (a bit too slow in my opinion): http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Hymns/Major_Feasts_of_the_Lord/Resurrection/Diocese_of_Los_Angeles_Deacons.html thanks so much fo…

i don't want to sound cliched, but it's really about prayer and fasting. i have had my own minor spiritual struggles this week (partly related to my love of sleeping and daydreaming!) and it's hard when there is no one to tell you 'keep going, i kno…

it's so the old subseacons still have something to learn, even if they are very old and have been studying coptic orthodox services all their life... ;) :P

i also think you should look for oriental orthodox churches. i tried this website: http://eocf.free.fr/sites.htm but it has some out of date links, and i only found eastern orthodox churches. try this instead: http://www.chretiensorientaux.eu/index…

there is enough protein in beans, lentils, rice and cereals (bread, porridge, rice etc.) in fact there are some people who are vegan all year around because they think it is not nice to use animal products (in rich countries). and some people are ve…

hi, you are right, the lent fast starts tomorrow! :) those who are able (so not kids) abstain from all food and drink from midnight (or whenever people go to sleep if it's earlier) till 12 noon, or ideally 3pm (we aim for this, but a lot of people …

i see, that one (jonah's fast) is different. i don't have a youtube user name (i don't subscribe to stuff as i don't put any personal opinions or data on the net, except here and orthodoxChristianity.net (under my tag 'mabsoota') for lots of reasons…

geomike, i took a closer look. i only watched the first half before, and because the song is being sung with the hazzat and then at a different speed and very loudly also in the background, it put me off. the background noise is not there during the…
-
hazzat maps always leave me confused, i suppose because i have not seen how they are used. can someone please send a link to 'tai shory' (the only hymn i know reasonably well) so i can see how the little marks and signs correspond to the tune? then…

our bookshop is run by 3 aunties who have poor english. i will see if anyone there has an email, but i may end up sending a postal address instead! ;)
-
wow! saw this just after getting back from church, so will have to remember to ask them in the bookshop next week! i can't wait! :) my favourite is 'stranger' (ghareeban) - is it in there?

so are u in your first year in college? i still remember my first year (long time ago now!) the first 2 terms (autumn till easter) were fine as i was so excited at living apart from my family and having freedom and a bicycle to go everywhere, just …

there are 1 or 2 (!!) eastern orthodox: http://orthodoxwiki.org/List_of_parishes_in_Saskatchewan_(Canada) seems like half of ukraine is there. :)

yay! thank u, i just wanted to celebrate it, as he is really cool. i have had the amazing chance to venerate a relic of his. it still makes me shiver, remembering that there was a real person, not just some long ago history lesson on sharing our fa…

hi, chris+, we recognise your photo, may the holy martyrs remember us before the throne of God. the important thing on your journey is that you are on a spiritual journey. keep searching until you find the depths of the love of God. you can find Go…

this is nice. are the praises you upload done with the same choir that do the tasbeha from saint antony the great monastery in california (that is here on this site), coz it sounds the same. maybe it's just the american accents... :)

wow, didn't realise u were in high school, thought u were older! :)

yes, when men go to prostitutes and watch pornography, we accept it is the men's fault. women should not wear bikini, but men should not stare either. it works both ways, if i see a man's butt crack coz his pants are too far down, i have to look aw…

thanks for all the info here! the liturgy of saint james of jerusalem is used by the british orthodox church. it is not available online, but you can order copies via the british orthodox website. it is very nice, and fairly close to the liturgies …

may God give u peace. keep praying and going to church, even if you feel you are not worthy. remember the church is a hospital for the sick, not a parade of the perfect people.
