My name is Mohamed and I signed-up here to learn more about Coptic Christians.I believe that all the chaos thats happening in Egypt is because of Ignorance from both sides of Egyptian society and of course because of the economy.The best way to shun this ignorance is to build bridges so I thought starting here wouldnt hurt. I have some questions for you guys and I hope you can answer them

1-) Whats the primary difference between Copts and Catholics ?
2-) What is your view of the political climate in Egypt ? And do you see hope for the future under the MB?
3-) Whats the Coptic  dress code ? (E.g. Muslims are required to wear modestly and not showy so bikinis are a no no)
4-)Whats your view of Muslims ? whats your view of Islam ?
5-)What have you heard of Islam that you find disturbing ? (Back-up with facts and sources)

You dont have to answer them all!

These are my questions for now

that our sister church used the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom while we do not...
Does anyone know anything behing why we do not use it?
Also, does anyone know anything about the Liturgy of St. James?
About the Liturgy of St. John...could it be because of the split from the EO and OO in 451 i think?
But St. John died before the schism...if I'm not mistaken...
I don't really know much about this, so anything would help!

I wanted to know why so you feel special about being coptic??whats your favorite thing about coptic?? Why do you feel the being coptic is different from any other church???
There's more questions please let me know your story. Please also feel to add more info not just answer those questions in particular.

of rites, and history aswell as contemplations, and explanations. I know it's a lot, but I ask for your help!
I have four books:
- The Shape of the Liturgy; Gregory Dix
- The Early Liturgy; Josef Jungman
- Understanding the Liturgy; Fr. Athanasius Iskander (Kitchiner, Ontario!! :P)
- The Spirituality of the Rites of the Holy Liturgy in the Coptic Orthodox Church; H.G. Bishop Mettaous
Firstly, does anyone know where I can find H.G. Bishop Rofail's explanaitions? I heard a couple on CTV, and I
really like them, even though I don't understand arabic very well.
Is there anything that any of you would recommend?
God bless you, and keep me in your prayers,

I think if I was introduced to Orthodoxy at a Coptic Orthodox church and was friends with many Copts (or members of a local Coptic church), I would have converted to Oriental, Non-Chalcedonian Orthodoxy.  But since my first experience was with Eastern Orthodox Christians and the first parish I visited was in the Orthodox Church in America, I converted to Eastern Orthodoxy.

I was wondering if anyone can list as many Saints of the church as they can that were physicians. The ones I know of are St. Luke, the brothers Saints Cosmas and Saint Damian, and St. Verena.

Anyone else know of any other Saint?

I've noticed that there is a difference between the fasting rules as adhered to by Copts in America to how I'm used to doing it in Australia.

On Wednesday/Friday outside of the major fasts, the Americans I met only fasted until sunset.  In Australia we don't eat for the whole of Wednesday or Friday (night and day).

I was wondering if anyone knows why this is and what the correct practice should be?

God Bless,

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, but I could not find the historical links on this site for this subject.

I understand that we are an apostolic orthodox church, and we follow still the laws given to Moses and the priesthood. That makes sense. No doubt, us as a Church, we have many reasons that prevent this (I am assuming the reasons I've mentioned are linked to the answer. If its incorrect, please let me know).

However, why would the Anglican Church , for example, decide to forbid women priests - they are not following any orthodox/spiritual practices whatsoever for this to be a blocking point for them

Thanks]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/14092/christ-s-birth-from-the-virgin Wed, 02 Jan 2013 01:43:56 +0000 FirstChurch 14092@/community/discussions Firstly, I would like to wish you all a happy new years, and a glorious Nativity Feast, to come! I was delving on the season of Advent, and decided to look at the Thursday Theotokia for some details. I saw a couple contradictory verses, so I decided to do some research. The verses that say that 1) ...For her sake He revoked, the first curse. Which was pronounced upon our race, through the violation, incurred by the first woman, when she ate from the fruit of the tree. 2) He was also born according to the flesh without pain for the Virgin.
From what I understand, the Virgin had deep pain, until she gave birth, and that was painless; the actual birth.
This doesn't seem too right to me. Is there anything I am missing. I know that there was another thread about this, so please don't refer me to it but I am looking forward to see your answers.
