  • You should definately pray (that's always #1), but maybe you could also talk to your dad and encourage him to make some life style changes, like eating a healthy diet and excerising? I mean, high blood presure is preventable, and we should take care…
  • [quote author=minagir link=board=4;threadid=4753;start=15#msg65754 date=1167768642]you still didn't give me any examples of mistakes.[/quote] I know. ;D I'm actually waiting to get my hands on it again, which will probably be this Saturday.
  • [quote author=minagir link=board=4;threadid=4753;start=15#msg65301 date=1166844829]u should ask them. also can you tell me what improvment would you have. also there one thing, you have to conceder the source of the litrugy, the coptic liturgy. [/qu…
  • Well, just because it is the best translation that exists does not mean that there is no room for improvment. Why are they going to release a new version if it's not going to be much different anyway?
  • [quote author=jydeacon link=board=4;threadid=4753;start=0#msg64903 date=1166066423] what kind of Liturgy book to you guys use the one our church uses is fine and i see nothing wrong with it, it looks like this (Click on link) https://www.orthodoxbo…
  • Actually, while it is an urban myth that Coka Cola "invented" Santa Claus, they did invent and popularize the modern dipiction of him as an old man in a white beard and a red suit, etc. It was actually based on a similar image of the German Chris K…
  • I know of a Father Antonious Hanna near San Fancisco, California. Is he the one?
  • [quote author=AnbaBola link=board=4;threadid=4759;start=0#msg64976 date=1166291463] so i'm lost now... did this just happen or about 13 yrs ago?? i'm sorry :-\ [/quote]I'm confused too. (Though I probably added to the confusion - I assumed it w…
  • Abouna Antonious? Which one? (Should I know what you're talking about? :-[ )
  • I think she meant that the same thing happened right before she was born - this is some thing recent. By the way, I heard that some journalists took some of the oil for testing at a lab. Did any one know what they found out (if anything)?
  • I'm from Canada, and go to a medium-sized church with a largely immigrant population. Hence, at least to my knowledge, they've never had an English only liturgy (in fact, older people complain whenever a priest makes an effort to speak English for …
  • It might be because at our church we do a lot of switching between English and Arabic (and some times we throw in Coptic), which gets extremely confusing if you're trying to follow the text. I didn't say that there is anything wrong with that book …
  • We have that book at our church, but we rarely use it. I'm not too familiar with it, so I can't tell you about it's actual text, but I remember when we have used it that at the very least, it could have been better organized. The book we use is ac…
  • Whoa! All I wrote is "m a s s", but it got edited. lol Wierd ...
  • I disagree with some of what was said here. First of all, I don't think looks really matter with friends (that said, certain looks are off-putting: i.e. lack of hygeine, or girls who wear really revealing clothing - yes, I consider these things as …

  • Wow, very interesting. Do you have a source for that, so I can look it up? I'd be interested in reading more. Does anyone know how accurate the December 25th date is? (Yes, I said 25th, not January 7th, which is the same day on a different calan…
  • [quote author=Christ4Life link=board=10;threadid=2685;start=0#msg41590 date=1130897167] how is supporting celtics fun? [/quote]Um, what's wrong with Celtic people? :P

  • Maybe I'm wrong, but it might be better to sit a row or two from the front so that there's someone in front of you that you can follow. It isn't that big of a deal, though.

  • Just out of curiousity, how did you all come to find the Coptic church? (It always makes me happy when people join us, and I'd like to know how effectively we're spreading the word.) :) God Bless.
