[quote author=mabsoota link=topic=7992.msg103271#msg103271 date=1242697545] hi, this link is v interesting, is it widely accepted as an accurate historical document by our current church fathers? e.g i have heard of the discourse between theodosius …

Ah my church is a bit smaller so we don't have a lot of these, usually an annual sleepover + morning liturgy. We have an annual family retreat, we join other churches during their retreats when invited, and ECCYC, if you can call that a retreat. I…

[quote author=DimyanCoptic link=topic=8009.msg103216#msg103216 date=1242607632] Other than, of course, your tonia if you are a deacon, or a sharb if you are a women, does our church have a dress code? My church priest tells everyone to dress nicer …

[quote author=PopeKyrillos link=topic=7992.msg103114#msg103114 date=1242318092] http://books.google.com/books?id=hb0AAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA149&dq=Coptic+Orthodox+Church&lr= The information in this book seems pretty weird. Can someone briefly go…

Pst, ilovesaintmark, you can post numerous stories in one reply, just thought I'd put that out there ;) haha. One time at our church we were about to begin the prayer for the gospel and we had a fairly new deacon. Abouna said eshlil and the deaco…

http://orthodoxfathers.org/?p=261 This video was posted on another thread by QT, and it is an excellent video and documentary about monasticism that you might enjoy and learn something from.

Most monasteries, if not all, require you to have an education (at least a Bachelors Degree from what Anba David has told me), and you need to have worked and prove that you could live by yourself in the world, because they do not want people who ar…

[quote author=minagir link=topic=7964.msg102909#msg102909 date=1242006975] also some people feel strongly about that cloth. they say we are not supposed to "touch" the shoria during the service becasue Christ is in there. [/quote] I also feel the…

Thread. Becoming. Too. Serious. Argh! So, during a liturgy one time, one of our deacons misplaced the cloth that allows us to hold the bottom of the censer for abouna. In all my simplicity I thought it was just a pretty cloth with no purpose. Aboun…

[quote author=the_least link=topic=7964.msg102820#msg102820 date=1241887886] anyways where did you get the urge to start a forum like this? [/quote] I can't speak for RPM but I saw these topics also on the Coptic facebook and myspace groups, and ot…

In one of the Great Entrances during some feast a few years ago, I think it was Easter, I was given the cross and told to lead the procession (the first time I ever did it) and I started walking. By the time I reached the altar, I noticed that every…

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=7912.msg102634#msg102634 date=1241631690] why ON EARTH should you feel bad for having sex with your wife if you ended up having sex with her MORE than 12 hours before communion????? Is sex not holy also??? [/quote…

QT, yes we live in an unideal world, yet it does not mean that we too should be unideal. Remember what we were told: we are in the world, not of it. If one's church does not have vesper services, instead of saying "oh well no prayer, I can do whatev…
-
I will have to jump in and say that most of the priests I have listened to here in North America agree that the night prior to communion should be free of sexual acts. Why? Because the liturgy does not start in the morning after the matins, nor duri…

Father, You might want to contact any of the other churches in England, as most churches I've been to have always had extra vestments just in case someone needed them or someone wanted to buy them. I'm not sure how large the British Orthodox Church …

Instead of study pills, you can try rather simple study skills that have proven to be very effective and useful. Studying for 25 minutes, then taking a 5 minute break, and then repeating works very well, especially for me. Some of my friends study f…

I teach K-3 and they loved singing Very Early Sunday Morning.

The only two priests I know in south jersey are Abouna Shenouda in Atlantic City and Abouna Rafael in Medford.

Do you mean Abouna Abraam Sleman at St.Marks in North Jersey?

Theres also: ICXC NIKA a Christogram which means Jesus Christ Conquers.

I can't find any more information, but I found a Coptic icon of St. Julius: http://iac.cgu.edu/King.jpg

This is Anba Youssef's answer from the Southern Diocese, perhaps the third sentence will be of use: How does our church view abortion after a rape incident? Abortion is only permitted when a mother's life is at risk. Pregnancy due to rape is v…

Any ideas anyone?
