In fact this particular Dominican blessing is a very modern version that it seems t…

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to say that you don't know what you are talking about. But we JUST had this bible study a few months ago. I'm just saying what my servants taught me, and they get their info from the writings of the fathers.

*sigh* will you PLEASE read the verse in context?? I'm not saying that you're wrong about this being a sin, you're just supporting it with the wrong verse! The bible says:
8 And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and r…

Concerning the Reuters video, I didn't say anything about Copts participating. I just said that it didn't look at all like a liturgy was being performed. And the use of…
Here's the link where they mention the rafah bombings. They're comparing to an attempted mosque bombing. If you ask me, they're just trying to pretend thats its not just christians getting their worship places attacked. What else do we expect from e…

Dear All,
allow me to build on some of your arguments and offer a somewhat alternative political view.
The next president of Egypt needs to be a friend of the United State…
I'm sorry, but will you please try and remember that we are CHRISTIANS? We can't do anything without Christ.

Guys, baba Shenouda's responsibility is the church. He cares about the Church and her interests. Mubarak is leaving, and he can't go back now that he's announced it to the whole world. What's in the church's interest now, is a peaceful transition of…
Haha. If my family is any indication, and I have family all over egypt, copts are staying home for the most part. HH from the beginning said that he'd prefer it if we just stay out of this messy situation. Copts just talk, I don't think too many are…
hey marmar. it depends on where you are. If you are in the US, then your bishops have called a three day fast. If you're in Canada, we're doing fasts on a church by church basis, since we don't have a bishop. If you heard about a fast, its likely th…
