Father Peter, I am going to be putting a request to have you transferred to the United States. You should not be in the United Kingdom.

Fr. Peter, All of the lax posts on being observant underscrore the laziness factor that is entering our community [Orthodox]. It is that same lax attitude that allowed the infiltration of this nonsense to begin with. Our Lord teaches us to be vig…

The Coptic Orthodox Church is the National Orthodox Church of Egypt that belongs to the family of Oriental Orthodox Churches. It is not in communion with the: Greek Orthodox Church or the Romanian Orthodox Church; both are National Churches of Gre…

Minagir, So I guess St. Mark should be even before them since he is the one that taught us about all of them. Another great mark for St. Mark!.

Hoshani is just a variation in terminology. It is not in average usage. The average person will call the Feast: Palm Sunday, whereas the official naming is: The Feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. In same manner: Christmas vs. The …

St. Paul says: 'he who sings prays twice'.

The linen folded in the form of a triangle that is used in the Confession Chant by the deacon, and subsequently in walking before the Eucharist, symbolizes the wings of the Cherubim. It identifies a respect for the Hallowed Presence of the Lord. I…

I often get weird dreams after eating Chinese food for dinner. Don't worry about the dreams keep in mind the day and our obligations in it. God made the day for us, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Until the Feast of the Cross. Thereafter it becomes the Hoshani tone for the three-day celebration. The Festal tune is used in conjunction with the Hoshani tone.

You may insert and include the Apostles' Doxology at any time. I think people tend to do so relative to the Fast & Feast of the Apostles, but really it is a matter of time and how many doxologies can be said without lengthening the Raising of t…

My earthly punishment is in knowing that Oprah is still on broadcast television.

Zoxsasi, Unfortunately, there is another reason for the sale of these houses of worship other than just declining congregations. The sums from these sales--that is the reason to seek out the highest price--is to pay for lawsuits and settlements fo…

I would also get an engineer's perspective. There are plenty of the Coptic Community that do work gratis. I would not be shy about asking Bp. Angaelos. Our fraternity in Orthodoxy should avail us to the talents and resources that are available.

They are always covered with God's Love, and my prayer is that they would be able to see and feel His Tenderness. His Will be done.

Offer them L. 75,000

Do you have any engineers in the congregation, or any from the Coptic Churches that can eyeball the situation, and give you an idea on damage? Ask Bp Angelos to delegate someone to the task. There should be cooperation between the two jurisdiction…

Sounds like teenagers. No marriage vows, no kiss--its that simple. He just wants to let his hormones flow and have a good time.

It's because the people in these bookstores are not careful about what they put in. Also what looks kind of "religious" does not necessarily equal "Orthodox". Tell your priest about it, and it will help to have it removed from the bookstore.

Out of the eight tiles that I was able to see, I identified: 1. Blessed Heart (not Orthodox) 2. Sacred Heart (not Orthodox) 3. The Mother of Perpetual Help Icon 4. St. Joseph carrying the Lord 5. "Our Lady of Fatima" (not Orthodox) 6. Padre P…

Here's a series of observations that I thought were funny relative to this papal visit: 1. Pope meets Queen Elizabeth and is obviously put back by the fact that she is also the head of her church. 2. Queen Elizabeth meets the Pope and has diffic…

I think the Canaanites are those pesky Palestinians with the rocket launchers.

TITL, I never said Our Lord was a Hamite. He was most definitely a Jew and a Semite. Please read the posts before making comments. I was merely pointing out that one of the great points is that He was called from Egypt.

You have to have discipline to be a disciple.

It is probably not the best thing to refer to him as "the Black". It is not because of being P.C., but rather, he is known by the Church as 'St. Abba Moses the Strong' [Pi-gori ethowab avva Moses].

It's the West (Latin & Anglican), they only care about building empires.

Be honest with the parents. Set a proper plan and goal. Do not set the bar to ridiculous heights.

The reason I love the book Psalms, is that it is so expressive of any of the emotions I may carry at a given point. It is also quite an amazing reading of a soul's dialogue with God. It allows you to realize that you are not the first human being …

Sounds like too much parental and peer pressure. If it is, it needs to be resolved in terms of expectations.

[quoteya habibi da even the english liturgy responses that are new in which we had the choice to unite, but we didn't. ][/quote] Very profound. I agree.
