I think the recording you're talking about is at CopticHymns.net but it's still not working. Are you guys sure it's to Pi-oik? The verses seem quite wordy and just trying quickly I've found it difficult to sing it to the tune without going through e…
Thanks for all the responses! Unfortunately, the CopticHymns.net website is still not serving media. Does anyone know to what tune the communion hymn is sung?

The argument has completely strayed... you originally said all Muslims in Egypt hate Christians. Now, you're admitting that indeed some Muslims are kind towards Christians, but that these are not "real" Muslims. What does this prove? Only that we ar…

DEar Michael,
It seems you aren't actually following the news. A telephone conversation with one of the victims in the hospital revealed that the man got on the train, scan…
There is yet nothing to indicate that this man was intentionally trying to kill Copts or if he was on a random shooting spree. We shouldn't be quick to jump to conclusions, let's wait until the dust settles and the truth emerges. May God his soul re…
Indeed, that's what I thought, but the online rite from Al Bair says:
"The prayers in the Paramoun of the Epiphany differ only in that the Verses of Cymbals and doxologies for the Epiphany are chanted, as well as the Gospel Response specific to the…
What's the issue, how they always cut down the time? I know at my church we haven't said the festive Agios (even during the Feast liturgy) out of respect for what's happened in Egypt.
Does it really make a difference whether one finishes at 11:45 PM or 12:00 AM? I am fairly conservative with church rites, but I don't see the issue at all...
I know that it would be fairly easy to "rakib" the Praxis Response tune onto the text but I'd rather learn it properly. Thanks anyways! :) I'll just sit here and pray that CH.net comes back up.

Sororities are indeed a great way to network and make new friends, as well as a good way to simply have fun.…
Likewise I was unable to find it. Another question regard the Great Is Pateer, since I don't want to start a whole new thread. I've been listening to different recordings, and Cantor Gad Lewis' recording comes in at 16 minutes. Is he doing a special…
Not to get too off topic, but if the issue is little kids holding real candles, shouldn't we preserve the candles (as they are symbolic) and simply not let little kids hold them? At my church Abouna has asked that only grade six and above hold candl…
The Orthodox Church doesn't argue whether or not St. Mary ever sinned in her life. The argument is that she was not born without the Original Sin. If our Lord cleaned her from this Sin, how could He have done it before His conception?
As for your …
I don't have a full answer for you right now but you must remember that every animal has it's own sexual systems of reproduction and the like. I haven't looked into it, but maybe these animals do this for reasons other than pleasure? Perhaps it's a …
I've moved them into the Public folder so you can at least link to each one. I'd be interested in hosting these for you and putting up something to make it easier to share. Can you PM me your email?
I think what Joseph is trying to say is that the Old English words such as "thee" and "thine" are a bit more formal and therefore more appropriate when referencing God.
For example, when I speak to my priest at church in Arabic I always start with …

During the liturgy, at the beginning of the commemoration of the saints, abouna says something like:
"As this is the command of your only begotten Son, that we share in the…
On the contrary, I believe that you are saying exactly what everyone else has already said. This verse is telling every single Jew, who thought that they were "chosen," that through his Body and Blood our Lord Jesus Christ leveled the playing field …
I want to bring this up again because it wasn't really clearly answered. Ibrahim Ayad clearly has a recording of the Lenten Psalm Response: http://tasbeha.org/media/index.php?st=Hymns/Fasts/Great_Lent/Ibrahim_Ayad/Great_Lent_-_Weekday_Liturgy/07.psa…
It really is very noble and gallant that you do respect the idea of deaconism so much, and it's truly great to see that when nowadays being a deacon is seen as a chore that parents force upon children. As for making mistakes, whenever anyone in the …
