hi, joe g, yes i agree, a wonderful book:-)
-
minasoliman,i get your point, but i think this is mainly a problem with the english translation of pope shenouda's book.it can be read that way, but i think it is not intended that way. i agree saint athanasius' book is the best, but it is difficult…

try to get hold of the book by our dear departed patriarch pope shenouda 3rd called 'salvation in the orthodox concept'.many coptic churches will be able to sell you a copy (for about 3 dollars or less), or you can probably download it online. if yo…

lovely syrian liturgy of the repose of the blessed patriarch.the ladies choir is properly located together with the congregation and facing the altar. thanks for posting it.it is great to see how much it is similar to the coptic liturgy, even though…

remember that all beautiful women turn into wrinkly old ladies unless they die young. :P so spend time becoming the best husband / wife you can be (deep relationship with God, regular confession etc)then make friends with people who help you in y…

no, they are just the deuterocanonical books that every orthodox church accepts but which are not found in protestant sponsored Bible translations. any orthodox Bible has them in any language translation.

many churches use new king james Bible.but it lacks some of the old testament books. the best complete Bible currently available is:http://www.thomasnelson.com/the-orthodox-study-bible i am reading it, and our priest has given it out to some of the …

it sounds like you have a lot of anxious thoughts about this.did you speak to a doctor about this?
-
hi, i am not saying ignore the problems (we don't have same problems here in uk) but sometimes when you leave, some of the problems follow you.i will never accept incorrect teaching in church, but i would find another way to deal with it. may God gu…

lovely quotes, cyril.remnkemi, minasoliman, theophilus 1,thanks all so much, such wise words. i would have logged in to say something the last few days if i had not had an internet problem and been very busy.but now i don't need to; you said it far …

aah, very nice posts!yes, the difference between social 'mission' as shown in the lives of our saints of old and modern social 'mission' as shown in big coorporate organisations from developed countries, is that the modern concepts perpetuate the ga…

sounds great!if anyone gets it, please review it here.if it's good, i may try to get it via my church book shop (i have trouble buying things on line).:-)

copticstrength, i am talking generally about people around the world.so if you are in america but have been working part time since you're 13 and you do lots of housework and walk the dog for your neighbours in your free time (instead of listening t…

if you're over 16 and planning to get married around 18 or 19, then teenage dating is fine. as long as you did your education and got a job (assuming it's manual work as you didn't go to college) and you are very emotionally mature (generally this i…

my friend is moving to saskatoon.are there any orthodox churches nearby?she is not (yet) orthodox...;-)
-
this is true.it is 6 years now since i joined the church, and i put up with the lack of catchy tunes and feel good lyrics in order to see what orthodox Christians really believed.i wanted to see why they were peaceful and how they could love their e…
-
try my favourite sermon: may God give you strength to walk back to Him.it's a long process. the bad spirits don't want you to get back to God.they know how dangerous you will be to them when you bring back other people to God as a result of your re…
-
i think this already happened a few years ago (maybe you can do the mathematics!)i am glad you plan to be alive in 2035 (1752 AM if my calculations are correct), i will be old / dead (though technically not quite old enough for a pension).;-) maybe …
-
what is this hymn saying about the garment?is it saying there is a garment?or archangel michael's garment is being passed on to someone? i don't understand it.
-
thank God for that:-) ophadece, don't forget your homework...;-)
-
quickly, or you have to give back the passport!;-)

dear remnkemi,i was not saying people shouldn't use fairly bad english. i was saying they should say 'right and worthy', instead of 'meat and rice'. also i was saying that if someone's english is so bad you have no idea what language they are prayin…
-
wow, many questions! firstly, ophadece, how long have you lived in uk? :-O for your homework, please write a small paragraph each on saints andrew and george as patron saints of scotland and england! as for the other questions;the BOC has no ties …
-
no, south uk.
-
i read it!i like some coptic. i am actually happy with the current status in uk of most churches doing about half or just over half english in the main services and there also being some arabic and coptic. but it is better to say 'right and worthy' …
-
hi mark, happy new year!which country are you in? i am in the uk.i might be in a different country in 3 days!
-
i hope it's a 'no'.it would be very expensive for both countries. did anyone hear back from saint andrew and saint george?
-
i think it could happen.and if someone remarries before he is a priest, it is ok, he just can't remarry after. but as few people are called to the priesthood, don't worry about it happening to you / your friend. it probably won't happen. ;)
-
qawe, you sound like me! are you old already?! ;-) really, i think we should be more focused on doing things together. so if there are too many people to do a conference for all of them, then, for example, we could do one conference focused on 'find…

i hope less educated people and manual workers are allowed to go to.then i would be able to go (if it was in my country). what about old people?should they stay at home and weave palm crosses?
