thanks, father peter, for your really comprehensive answer. :D I have already saved it for future reference! By the way the girls i mentioned were not wearing robes. (what is 'tunia' in english? is 'robe' a good translation?) in case anyone else w…

good points, superman. qt, i am not saying we shouldn't sue priests. i am saying we shouldn't sue any Christians, priests or anyone else. i know that's a bit extreme, but i think these people should be 'tried' like superman suggests, by the church.…

ok, that is a video of baba shenouda saying we can't go to jerusalem. it doesn't say about israel. i guess i will speak to the bishop, hope to meet him in a few weeks at a meeting. thanks for the link, God bless you

dear qt, i have 2 points, 1. it's not only the coptic church that has this problem. i have seen it in lots of other churches as well. the best solution to the general problem is prevention. one of the main reasons some clergy (btw, not any i curre…

thanks for pointing this out, father. thanks for your posts, isaisa i attended the coptic church for a couple of years before i realised not all deacons were deacons. it didn't help me when friends tried to explain that someone we knew was not a dea…

;D maybe you should! be sure to invite me! i see there is a mere 8 years' difference between us, which must make me more or less middle aged ;) seriously though, anba angaelos (london bishop and general youth bishop for those who don't know him) …

for me it's about how close someone is to God, full of the Holy Spirit (as evidenced by the fruit; love joy peace etc - galatians 5:22 and 1 corinthians 13). when someone reminds me of God i respect them a lot :)

thanks for your really quick replies Godislove 260 :) i would like to speak to the bishop, but this is my bishop: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=7859.msg102161#new like he's really really sick right now and i don't want to b…

ok, sorry for being totally ignorant, but what church is it they won't give us back? and do all coptic churches think like this? coz i met some copts (not in my church but another one) who openly went to israel, i think it was recently. i mean, i …

i am only a cousin in this respect... ;) but, seriously, women tend to show more emotion (not to feel more emotion) and north africans are also emotional types. british people are particularly bad at it (except me, maybe i should check out my famil…

some of us love our priests very very much, both our FOC and the other priests we know :)

if you really like rock and hip hop and you can't find any of this music with edifying lyrics, then go out and write some which praises God. maybe you won't become famous overnight, but you'll have something better on your ipod. psalm 95 (96) says '…

i thought so. i have read about deaconesses but i couldn't remember the reference, that's why i didn't post earlier. i think, though they have to be celibate (like monks). other orthodox denominations definately have deaconesses and they are there i…

PLANNING FOR MAY 24 Hi, please ask all your churches in all the world to pray on May 24th. In addition to the information above, there are these resources available from release international. http://www.releaseinternational.org/pages/take-action…

well, some of us think it's the church that needs to change here. these women need help and compassion, not a quick, socially appropriate answer. like, if the woman has trouble getting married, people in church should provide free child care while …

excellent posts, boricua and marianne. i would like to add that it is God who forgives sins (the apostles/bishops/priests are channels) see luke 5:21 - the significance of Jesus saying so on so many occasions 'your sins are forgiven' was to show tha…

mmm... one of the things qt mentioned was making the woman marry the man who raped her. i can't see how that could be right.
-
qt, that sounds worrying. i hope God will give you the courage to say something to the bishop if you see a similar situation again.

i agree with the anti-abortion arguments above. as a (female) medical doctor i have had several experiences when women who have had abortions many years ago (20 years ago in 1 case) have just started crying when asked about operations they have had …

hi rpm, thanks for sharing with us. i didn't see your previous post, as i sometimes have times when i don't open the tasbeha website so often. partly because i work too many hours, and partly because i want to spend more time with my husband ;) i r…
