  • I love this forum and also the forums on orthodoxchristianity.net which a couple members here including Fr. Farrington participate on. Due to time constraints, they're my main source for spiritual information right now. H.H's books are easy reads. y…
  • When we kiss our palms, we're thanking God for all He has put into our hands. When we kiss the outside of them, we thank Him, for what He has not given us, though I've also heard the interpretation that we thank Him for what He has taken from our ha…
  • Mind sharing the link to the liturgy? I know we have a few on this site but my fav. is Abouna Antonious Tanious' on http://saint-mary.net/hymnology/divine_liturgies/st_gregory/
  • If no one from your church is going, you can always sign up to go with another church, as long as you have the servant's permission as he will be the one responsible for you. Chris, are you in high school or college? I'll be going to my second colle…

  • Hey man, what everyone else has said is great advice so I'm not going to repeat it. I'll just say back in high school I got a D in geometry and boy did I get it from my parents. Struggled hard not to fail, and I did end the year with a D. Thought it…

  • Abanoub, I don't know where you live but if you're looking for a place to just learn and study hymns you can take a look at the seraphim chorus under Bishop David located in Cedar Grove, NJ - www.seraphimchorus.com - and there's also the Coptic Heri…
  • Not that I watch football or anything, but don't forget, Jesus did sit upon a colt, thus so too shall the saints.
  • I do not know whether or not the pope asked us to fast, but what I do know for certain is that all churches in the Archdiocese of North America are fasting from now until friday this week according to H.G. Bishop David (nacopts.org). I am not sure i…
  • I probably will not attend, but who will be leading the protest?
  • Nine hours before your church will serve the Eucharist.

  • IBelieve, it's only the second edition. I bought it a few months ago and it is the huge one you're talking about. When you order it from their website however, you have to send them a check. They don't accept credit and the whole ordering process ta…
  • [quote author=I Believe link=topic=8329.msg106392#msg106392 date=1253322362] Those are Congregation responses... [/quote] Ahh my apologies, I misread the original post. I'll try to see if I can get the seraphim chorus' deacon replies to us.
  • Seraphimchorus.com - click on library and then on English responses.
  • Sodr, though there are arguments in the medical world about the benefits/disadvantages of circumcision, it is true that circumcision does cut down on the transmission of HIV by 70%. You may ask then, so what? People are just going to get circumcised…

  • May I ask what is this program, and is it normally free?
  • Many of the saints doxologies, even Saint Marys! Instead of faithful or trusted advocate, they call her Patroness, etc etc. From what I've noticed most doxologies have been changed, if even just slightly, to different English translations, completel…

  • Hey Sheep Among Wolves don't be discouraged by the way those few kids are treating you. Rather let it strengthen you, knowing that you're able to stand up against temptations that many especially in our young age cannot avoid. As you said, you're a …
  • Yeah, instead of clicking Post New Topic, to the right there is a button Post New Poll. Use that.
