How about this? I was asked to give a lecture about a specific chapter in the bible at church, I gave an explanation based on patrological interpretations and at the end, the leader of the group said "we just wanted to know how this chapter made yo…
Keep in mind that during cantor Mikhails time they didnt have digital recording media that was endless. Many things were recorded short for the sake of space. Have any of you ever heard him saying Omonogenees or the Long shere praxis response for ex…

Im not talking about saying half of it. Im talking about the tune itself.
BTW KMeka your posts are both a little bit of "falsafa" I just asked a question if someone could ask HIM and explain what HE says, not philosophizing and extrapolating your o…

Just out of curiosity, where did all of Wagdi Bisharas hymns go? I can't find them to download them anymore.
