The problem is that not everyone in the church can afford those things.

I think I agree with most of what you said, ophadece. It's a circular problem: The people don't donate so the church has to sell things. The church sells things, so people don't donate. It is difficult for a church to COMPLETELY stop selling. An…

After having a conversation with a friend, it seems impossible to translate without losing the poetic and musical value and any attempt to retain those two features would only lead to a translation distant from the original text.

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11829.msg141208#msg141208 date=1310365046] Yes that's right (as an answer). Jesus went to the synagogue once to find some people selling stuff, we all know how He reacted... Oujai [/quote] Do you think he was upset…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11829.msg141205#msg141205 date=1310364737] Why should the churches sell anything anyway? Even books, or other material items... Oujai [/quote] B/C people don't donate.

Well, by the time you approach them or abouna the fast will have been over. However, in future cases, approach them with humility. Maybe innocently ask: "tunt is this fasting?" She will reply "no" and all you have to say is that we are in the fast. …

Question - is this fetari food something like a kofta sandwich or a bag of doritos? Not that one is OK and the other isn't, I'm just curious.

I think I remember discussing with someone how we should chant His Holiness' name and he said that Pope Shenouda preferred Shenouda. Not sure if that is accurate though. In the end, we are making much ado about practically nothing. Whatever the ac…

100% wrong. No debate.

From what I understand it is not intended to be merely read, but chanted. Can anyone from the Southern Diocese update us?

I don't think we can guess how any particular bishop would react. Although I wonder if this hypothetical Coptic Orthodox politician would be excommunicated if he votes against the church's doctrine?

I don't understand, Mina, why we limit certain 'hitens' for specific occasions. . .what is wrong with asking for the prayers of Sts. Peter & Paul on a day other than the apostles feast? It seems arbitrary. Please elaborate.

Try Sts. Peter & Paul COC in Santa Monica, CA. I know the church made all the acolytes the same 'batrashel.' Maybe they can make custom ones for individuals as well. . .

I couldn't agree with you more, Father. Unfortunately, I fall under the category of people who have never visited another OO tradition.

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11736.msg140835#msg140835 date=1309787760] This is not true. Our identity is Coptic Orthodox. There are many people who call themselves Orthodox: Christians, heretics, and non Christians. Adding Coptic, Armenean,…

I took two courses on Christianity in University, although I had already fulfilled my electives (my way of showing how much I enjoyed them). If I was in your shoes, I would take 'the 5 books of Moses' course or the 'Prophets of the Bible' course. …

I'm interested in miracleseek's reaction to your (irishpilgrim) posts. I don't think he has posted anything in response. . .

Your thread caused me to look up videos of Moalem Gad online. I had a completely different picture of him in my mind! [quote author=baladoos link=topic=11781.msg140820#msg140820 date=1309763583] Not Sure Actually, but I don't think it was during c…

I'm just as curious as you. I haven't heard of this! Do you mean he was crying as he chanted a hymn?
