umm i really want to go to this consecration but i dont think i'll be able to since i live two hours from you in MD but will the church website be posting pics soon, or will any of the church's members be putting pictures on webshots or flickr or something? Thanks in advance. Pray For Me.
I am pretty sure that this is the church they are referring to. Btw, what exactly is HH consecrating? I thought that you meant a brand new church but are you guys receiving a new altar or something?

I will check if a live feed can be done through our website!
you can use this, windows media encoder, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx
you just need a set up on the site, or even a link to the video.
It's also the church of Anba David since he is the Bishop over the North American Archdiocese. T
I don't think he is our bishop... i believe the pope is our bishop... im not 100% sure.... but i think im right

yes. the pope is our bishop. that's why HG Bishop David is a general bishop on the area who manages it, since the pope is not here.
lol i'd be completely understanding if someone responded "cause you guys don't know how to do things right" lol
ok, so why don't we say amba david... like when i went to florida they say amba yossef.... why don't we say amba david in our hymns?

in florda, hg bishop Youssef is THE BISHOP of the southern diocese, but Anba David is a general Bishop who is responseble when the pope is not here. Many church do say his name, nothing wrong with that......most just don't do like my churhc.

your not supposed to do it at all- because he is not responsible for everything here- he just makes executive decisions when the pope tells him to- Anba youssef makes the decisions there. This is an Archdiocese- under the Archbishop.
also in an archdiocese the pope ordains priests- not anba david. In the southern diocese and diocese of L.A... The Enthroned Bishops (Anba Serbion and Anba Youssef) Ordain the priests. just wanted to add that
the rule in our rites is that to every priest (te be ordained) there have to be 3 bishops. the Pope, being an archbishop, is equal to 3 bishops. so that's why he does. if think about, when anaba Sarapion ordains a priest, he always send for atleast anba Yossef and anba David or others maybe. so technicly they can't by themslves.
but in places like africa, outside egypt obviously, Anba Antonious Morcos ordains priests by himself. So is that like an exception?
well yes. but i actually i think most of the time anba Polos goes with him.....or jusr ordain him on Pantecost.
