we don't know who is the anti-Christ. no-one knows. as father peter said, the church fathers don't tell us who it is, so maybe he/she/it wasn't even born yet. lots of people waste time making internet videos to show who it is, and many of the so-cal…

thanks for yr ideas john s. sorry, there were some technical problems our end, so the streaming didn't go to plan. i can write down some of my notes if there is not a more official report available, but basically we had an introduction to some of th…

also (to continue form the last thread of yours where i posted), look outside yourself and help someone else. if you are not strong emotionally, do something physical, like walk the dog for an old person, tidy up books after church, help a parent or…

just saw the thread today, some seriously good advice here :) i would also add that it's good to talk to your father of confession to say, i have some problems forgiving someone and am feeling low, and most priests will give good spiritual advice …

u could tell him something personal, like how God helped you in an exam to be less stressed, or helped you to be nice to your irritating brother/sister, or something about why you know God exists and loves you. in romans chapters 1 to 5, saint paul …

try looking at these 2 links, each has further links to sermons etc which may help you. http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=9557.0 http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=7618.0 remember the best way to tell your frie…

i personally still think it's because not enough people know. if something is announced only once in church and it's a new thing, people tend to think 'i don't recognise this idea, maybe it's not for me'. i am often surprised when i don't understand…

try some of these http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Songs/English/Coptic_Hymns_and_Spiritual_Songs_1.html go to 'media' at the top, then 'hymns', 'praises' or 'songs' and you will see many songs. if you can't listen on your computer (maybe don't have right pro…

seriously sound point :)

put simply, caribbean hair is fine, caribbean timing may need improving! ;) egyptians are just as bad at timing, but you should arrive before the gospel in order to take Holy Communion. that is so people don't get into bad habits of not really repe…

hi, welcome everyone :) ilovesaintmark, we do call it the pond but it's still too big to swim. :P even bermuda is too far to swim, but it sounds cool. 8)

there are some people who still insist we are monophysite heretics and not really orthodox. we should pray for them and not be drawn into the dispute too much (unless we are asked by the bishops to write theology papers to help in the dialogues, ord…

please can i make a small correction, we are not YET in communion with these churches. since we agreed we are all orthodox in 1990, we have been working on better relations. http://www.antiochian.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&i…

yipee! :) may God give her very much peace.

may the Lord give you peace and wisdom. in your weakness, He is strong.

as father peter said, it depends on your motives. however i think giving up something on sunday is a good tradition. eg someone whose main job is to cook for the family could prepare something simple the day before and put it to one side. this preve…

this is the best website for hymns etc. at the top of the page, click on media and then audio hymns, songs or praises.

God gives everyone a chance. we have free will. it is a big subject, i'm sure more people can comment on it!

hang out in a group, with other people. as u are sat at the table with others, you can have a conversation with the person you love as well and find out about them. then pray a lot and, if it is right for both of you, and you have discussed it with …

if anyone from the south of england is here, could u send me a personal message with the name of yr church (i don't need yr name) so i see how many churches there are? as the churches in uk grew from a few small centres that were not linked, they ar…

ophadece, i'm sorry not to agree completely with you, as i really respect all your hard work in keeping the knowledge of the coptic language and i know you're a really lovely person, but i truly think there is a need for both coptic and a language p…

good point, servant 33! how good is everyone's greek?! Εὐλογία Κυρίου καὶ ἔλεος ἔλθοι ἐπὶ σέ.

ask the opinion of a homeless person, i mean like get chatting to them and find out a bit about them. ok, u may have to buy them a sandwich 1st to get their attention (don't give money, likely to go on drink/drugs) but get to know them a bit and the…

whatever u do, don't do yoga. all the yoga positions are positions of worship of hindu gods. there is no reason why it would be ok for a Christian to do yoga. briefly (coz i am a bit busy today) anger often comes from our response to people who hur…

are you singing in ge'ez? i personally think it's a good idea for people to worship God in a language they can speak. if it's in a language she speaks, then explain to her the meaning (not all kids know big words) and also explain about God's love f…

may God give them His peace which is beyond all understanding and protect them from the enemy.

like walk to work, walk the dog for your old neighbour, dig someone's garden, cycle to church (hmm, maybe not in central london, streets a bit busy), clean the church, open a small business cleaning people's cars on saturdays etc, there are lots of …

felicitations

i don't have a deeply spiritual answer, but i have to say that it would freak me out! i couldn't do it. i once was at a big conference with work, in a city i hadn't been to before, and i was pleased to see that our venue for dinner looked like it …

i understand the question coz i once thought maybe u could. when i was more ignorant, i reckoned that as most catholics believe less than 90% of what they officially believe and most orthodox believe less than 90% of what they officially believe, so…
