So I heard from someone that some time ago Tamav Irene died for like 40 minutes but then came back to life, and while she was dead she saw heaven and wrote 4 books of what she saw. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with any links where I can get more information (or if there is an english version or summary available of the books) because I am not sure what to search, especially since I don't think there is a standard spelling for Tamav/Umina Irene/Eriny/Irini

They are doing interviews and discussing what seems like their platforms, etc.

It is as if we are selecting the president of the Coptic church.

The reason I am uneasy about of all the attention the candidates are getting is because it over-emphasizes the power of the newly elected patriarch. This leads to an increase in authority. I have even talked to some people who think that the pope dictates what happens in other dioceses! As far as I know, it is the Holy Synod that has absolute authority, not the pope...

What do y'all think?

What exactly IS the difference between each Papal Candidate? Would any of them focus on anything different?

I know we are an Orthodox Church, and not a multinational conglomerate, where a CEO could create mergers, or fire new people, or enter into a new product domain; we will always have the same dogmas, same rites, same life.

But given that we ARE Orthodox Christians, does it make any difference who we will choose? Its not as if any candidate will do something anti-Orthodox or add any strange dogma.

More importantly, what are the distinguishing characteristics of each candidate? Is there anyone amongst them pro-evangelical? Any pro-catholic? Any Pro-Islamic Brotherhood?  (for example).

Hundreds of Coptic Christians crowded the intersection of Bergen Avenue and Vroom Street in Jersey City yesterday afternoon, to witness the unveiling of a street sign in honor of Pope Shenouda III.

Among those attending the ceremony to rename the intersection Pope Shenouda III Way were U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy and His Grace Bishop David, the general bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Archdiocese of North America

Prior to the unveiling ceremony, roughly 400 people packed into St. George & St. Shenouda Church, at 835 Bergen Ave., for a standing-room only ceremony with prayers and hymns in memory of the Pope.

Shenouda was the 117th pope and Patriarch of the Orthodox Coptic Church based in Alexandria, Egypt. He served from 1971 until he died on March 17 this year and in that capacity presided over several million Copts worldwide.

Members of the clergy remembered Shenouda as a poet, writer, educator, “father and shepherd.”

“The life of his holiness was so special in so many ways,” David said. “Anyone who came in contact with his Holiness was impacted one way or another. He was not just a leader, he was a poet and a sensitive man … His love was evident in the way he led the church. He loved everyone.”

When Shenouda became the church’s leader in 1971, the only Coptic Church in New Jersey was St. Marks on West Side Avenue. Now there are more than 20 churches in the state, church officials said.

There are also 30,000 Copts in the city, said Maggi Khalil, a community organizer and Jersey City municipal prosecutor.

“We are here today to name a street after someone who is so very much deserving of it,” Healy said. “Pope Shenouda … was recognized for emphasizing education for all of our youngsters but also for reaching out, not just to other Christian communities but other cultures and religions of all kinds.”

Ward E Councilman Steven Fulop co-sponsored the council resolution to have the intersection named for Shenouda with Ward C Councilwoman Nidia Lopez.

“We gather proudly and faithfully to remember the longtime spiritual leader of millions of Christians in Egypt and around the world,” Menendez said, adding that he’s called on the current government of Egypt to respect the right of Copts to worship in freedom.

I have been on the search for books about Coptic Monasticism but I've hit a brick wall! So far the only one I have found is Sublimity of Monasticism by H.G. Anba Mettaous.

Also, any books about the cornerstones of monasticism (obedience, chastity, poverty)  would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you kindly!]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13776/latest-news-london-school-of-orthodox-christian-studies Wed, 17 Oct 2012 16:12:37 +0000 servantofgod 13776@/community/discussions

Is this Coptic Exorcism real ?

Was this man a muslim before he became a Christian ?

Can someone translate the video for me please, as it is in Egyptian. I can't tell if its Pro-Coptic or Anti-Coptic.

if u can, postpone breakfast till later in the day, and please pray for the group who are producing a shorter list for who could be the next patriarch.

if u are very young, very old or have medical issues and can't fast from food, then please take half an hour from tv / computer / whatever else usually distracts you and pray for our church at this very important time.

this is not the time for discussing things (that was the last few months), but the time to pray and entreat God to have mercy on us and reply to us according to His mercy and not according to our sins.

if u join the fast late, don't panic, just fast! God receives the sincere prayer and our acts of worship and of showing mercy to others.
