i didn't find any. i usually go to catholic or multi-denominational (largely protestant) Christian book shops and read the book first to check the theology is ok before buying it. many of the books for kids are ok.

was lovely. Christmas eve's readings (it is past midnight in uk) were also lovely. u can find the readings in the drop-down menu under 'our faith' :)

did u pray from agpeya? just thinking on your own isn't usually enough, it's better to meditate on God's words in the Bible. i find this website really useful, and read the daily readings (under 'our faith' in the drop-down menu) before praying. if …

actually it is a good question. i am planning to wear brown and cream (don't look good in black and white lol), we want to be sensitive that something bad has happened, but still celebrate our saviour's birth. i think somewhere in between full mour…

it is the 'surely nothing will happen to them' idea that makes you think it would be easy for these women. however, i am sure it would not be easy at all. even if they come out publicly (and then are probably harmed by their enemies), this would not…

i agree.

may God give you grace and deep fellowship with Him. Jesus Himself suffered similarly as people cut themselves off from God when He said 'i have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers chicks under her wings' (matthew 23:37). may H…

very interesting, thanks :)

u should first check to see if God wants u to be a monk ;) :o but if u want a more serious answer, look here, it has been discussed a lot earlier this year. if u don't want to read all the posts, read the ones by father peter; he's an orthodox pri…

it depends on the church and the priest and on the person's previous knowledge of God. i was afraid to ask this question so i just kept coming to church, and after about 1 year, abouna asked me, 'so when are you going to join us? i have been waiting…

any convert can obviously only marry a Christian! i suggest if there are problems that the FOC of the convert and the FOC of the other Christian have a chat (obviously with the permission of the bride and groom) to discuss any fears or other issues …

well done for going to church, may we keep proclaiming the faith. latest update here: http://bishopsuriel.blogspot.com/2011/01/newsflash-2-update-from-metropolitan.html#comments

this has the same roots. when u are shocked at yr own anger sometimes u push it in on yourself and it can be very destructive. u have no right to hate yourself. God created you, and then redeemed you with the precious blood of Jesus, so u do not bel…

see here for more http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php/topic,10335.15.html although the numbers have yet to be confirmed. thank you for all your prayers.

thanks for sharing this :)

i will attempt to summarise human psychology in a few lines. if u don't like it, i would like u to have the chance to forgive me for my weakness! basically hate comes from anger. the more angry u are, the more u hate. eventually, if u don't treat t…

i think they don't have souls, but they have feelings (pain, fear, contentment etc). they don't have complex feelings, like being worried about getting spots before a big party (sorry couldn't think of a more serious example!). if we eat meat, we sh…

u look great in red ;) mabrook! (congratulations)

saved me watching the link, thanks! :)

i am not going to insult anyone, don't worry! ;) but, as we say in the creed that God created everything, i don't believe the demons have the power to create. human life which is not formed form a sperm and an egg needs a miracle, and only God has …

i had to go back to page 1 to find it. where r u these day severus? we miss yr posts :( i think they r all funny. unfortunately it takes all my energy (when these things happen) to not laugh out loud in church, so i have no brain space left to reme…

may God bring comfort and have mercy

thanks all for this clarification, very interesting. may we all work towards greater orthodox unity, unity based on a good understanding of history, love and forgiveness. i had the occasion to sing the trisagion (i sensitively used the EO version) i…
-
many valid points. i suggest we each choose some 'deacons' in our church to pray for every week by name so that God restores order to His church.

ha ha :D i really dislike electric candles too. you can't look at them without it hurting your eye a little. the good thing about real candles is they can definitely never be confused with toys that have buttons! if u can't control yr little kids t…

welcome, lvnvrfails13, may God guide your church as you prepare your new building. did you hear about this website? http://evangelismcopticorthodox.org/ it's in north america but has followers in other countries too, there are great ideas about how …

hi, u were sitting reading the Bible together? this is very good, everyone should do this with their family, Christian flat mate or work colleagues. the septuagaint (the greek version of the old testament version used in the orthodox study Bible) is…
