I heard that Martyrdom, Heresies, and other factors like giving family attention and time lead to the Bishops being unmarried, but the exact date I'm not sure. Also I think Alexandria was one of the first to adopt the tradition that a Bishop cannot…

You know there is a long drawn out process before they add any saint to the Synexarium. Some body told me they have to have a saintly reputation for 50 years after their departure is the first requirement. Thats why pope kyrollos is not in there y…

Why would she think that, we didn't make up the Lord's prayer. Its in her bible i'm pretty sure (lol)

I know, its horrible what these people have to go through. Really we should thank God that there is a roof above our heads!! The thing is there are many charity groups that say they are collecting to send it over there, but I heard many things ab…

Well I know churches in Chicago and Ohio usually have retreats, and Ofcourse the MCOYC (midwest coptic orthodox youth convention) and the MCOCC (midwest coptic orthodox college convention) are usually held in July at Bowling Green Univesity in OHI…

Thanks Coptic Servant and Lost, but really Daffs are now L.E 100, I remeber 7 years ago you could get a nice daff for about L.E. 20. I guess things change!!
-
This might be a stupid question, but How do you know the difference between a copper and aluminum or an even better question is how do you know a good daff from a bad one?

There are some songs for pope kyrillos on http://www.traneem.org/Tamgeed.htm

I know there is a passion Retreat that the Church at washington D.C. holds. I am not sure when but i think its in April.

Well about priesthood I think the best chapter would be Hebrews 7, which proves that now priest hood still exists just on different rites (of Melchizedec instead of Aaron). Bishops are mentioned in the Bible in Philippians 1:1 "Paul and Timothy, bo…

My favorite by far is the story of Moses. I always wanted to be like him, you know to talk to God and become so close of a friend to him. Haven't done it yet, but I am working on it ;)

A Sa3edi came in the Church at the time of the Pauline, when the priest was going around raising incense opposite of the deacon. And out of no where the Sa3edi tackles the deacon and yells "I got him ya abouna!" I don't know how funny this one is…

Some man paid a blonde to paint his front porch. So after two hours she came in The man: "Are you done?" The blonde: "Yea i even gave it two coats of paint not one. Oh yea and by the way your car is a Mercedes not a Porch" I heard mixed opinions…

The word pope comes from the word "Papa" meaning father. Origionally in the Coptic Church that word was not used at all, but after the 13th pope of the Church pope Ierakulas (Herakulas) became like a "father to the Bishops and the congregation" the…

Yea, I know that some monks make a promise (like for example pope Kirollos and pope Shenouda) to keep their hair long as a form of sacrifice, but i thought that all other monks are required to cut off their hair. Also by cut their beards (in the o…

Yea, I think it is based on what you are sick with or if actually can eat some of the fasting food. But most of the time even if you are sick, you will still find a lot of healthy fasting food. Now about strict abstinence I would probably get perm…

That would be awsome!! Thanks
-
Does any of you know if it is in the monastic oath that they shouldn't cut it? Because i thought there is something about that in there.
-
I did not have time to read all EIGHT pages so mine might be repeated, but my favorite is St. Arsanius' "I talked many times and regreted but about silence I've never regreted" Makes me think before I talk!
-
I always thought of it like this, because technically they are dead from the world their old name is dead with them. So when they are giving a new life (whether monastic or priesthood) they have to be given a new name. Sometimes the new name is ac…

There is also http://coptichymns.net/Coptic_Media.html in the media and http://www.alhan.org/ and some hymns in http://www.copticheritage.org/ Hope that helps :) But Again tasbeha.org is a great source as well, may God bless their service.

I don't know what Abouna Matta El Meskeen has to do with Max Micheal because he disagreed with him completely. Besides, Personally i conside Fr. Matta El Meskeen a saint by all means. Fr. Matta had many chances to split the church at the time of Sa…

My favorite part is when he says "And the man that did not exist was still in the hole that was not there!" Athiests (lol). Jokes aside, its an awsome video.

Personally, I like meghalou and Kiereleison but my favorite is Share Efnouti-- the praxis response of week days. Its kinda short, but still sweet. Also Pi mairomi-- the communion hymn of week days is great!
-
I feel like the phrase "worthy and just" is good in the Basilian Liturgy, but it really does not make sense when used in the Gregorian liturgy. I wish English-speaking priests would make their minds!!
-
Yea i have never heard a long version, but on copticheritage.org there is the version I learned I am not sure if that is what you're looking for.

We fully understand what you mean duck, and you did nothing wrong to apologize. All of us were just discussing what we think and hey maybe we'll go up there and find a purgatory after all? I highly doubt it but it is possible! Thanks for sharing y…

[quote author=clay link=topic=6158.msg82068#msg82068 date=1202783943] Well its one thing to say my post doesn't prove anything, and its another thing to show it, please show it. Also, my argument doesn't rest solely on quotations from the fathers…

[quote author=clay link=topic=6158.msg82068#msg82068 date=1202783943] You should actually read duck's post. Secondly, Catholics like us have increasing influence of Protestant thinking, and that coult account for the trend away from Purgatory. T…
