This is wonderful Abouna. I hope we will one day see someone like Fr Alexander Schmemann in our Church. Or someone who can speak about the significance of Liturgical Theology in our rites.

WOW. Who's Abouna Athanasius Al-Maqar? This looks like a really good website.

Thank you Abouna

One more quote: "(3) CATECHESIS AND THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION, through which mutual appreciation of the richness of our respective traditions is fostered. There is undoubtedly a need for popular literature in this subject area, which can be distributed …

Also sometimes the same warnings don't get raised for a lot of the popular books that circulate in the Church today: :P

This following quote is not intended as a proof text just thought it would be of interest concerning the possibility of Orthodox synthesis and dialogue way after Chalcedon: "Church historians have normally told the story of the schisms in the Christ…

Hi Mina Happy Feast of The Consecration of the Church of Mari Mina at Maryut.I totally agree that much of the Orthodox world would benefit from a ressourcement of our Local Church's Tradition. From what I've heard about St Nersess Seminary in NJ, th…

Hi Theophilus 1, could you share a link to an image of the icon?

La La. I wish I had that skill though :(

Father bless. Found these via a google search and clicking on the favorite blog links on some of the blogs.

I would really like to see a blog by minasoliman :) :) :)

Also by the time the scholars recognize the value of the lists, the Cyber Bedouin who stumbles on the archive will have used a few of the pages to fuel her digital campfire (for the cold wires of the future interwebs will be a harsh and merciless sp…

LOL I hope so :) :) :) Digital Archaeologists of the future will uncover Tasbeha.org as a Coptic Orthodox version of a genizah ;P

That's a very interesting observation, the similarity between Fundamentalist Islam and Fundamentalist Protestantism. They both seem to share a focus on textual primacy, the literal application and reading, the iconoclasm and even the sense of a far …

Wow thank you Mina. This is really well done. Here's another link to your documenthttp://www.writeurl.com/publish/qozhrp9e050lbr7bbz17 and archived version: http://web.archive.org/web/20140621045042/http://www.writeurl.com/publish/qozhrp9e050lbr7bb…

Apologies for the long posts. I think Dr Hart has written some of the finest apologetic pieces in the past five years. His assessment of fundamentalism is also very sound. Biblical fundamentalism comes out from a confessional tradition that is ver…

And here's why our Orthodox Church should try to avoid adopting the literalism of fundamentalist Christians: "The caricature of Christianity, some of which has been made possible by Christian fundamentalism (itself a caricature of Christianity), i…

Here's an interesting book on science http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1409405745 Also check out RC Priest, Fr Robert Barron's article on Genesis http://www.wordonfire.org/Written-Word/articles-commentaries/February-2011/The-Genesis-Problem.aspx "My…

"For the sake of harmony, I for one am more than willing to acknowledge that the God described by the new atheists definitely does not exist; but, to be perfectly honest, that is an altogether painless concession to make. Would that I could, howeve…

And it was something of a theme in patristic texts that one must not mistake the Genesis narratives for scientific descriptions of the origin of the world. If nothing else, it would have offended against many Christian philosophers’ understanding o…

Zoxsasi thank you for being so honest and sharing your experience. May the prayers, hope and life of the Saints be with you and all of us. May we be like the icons and reflect the Glory of the resurrection and point and love all to the divine lif…

Thank you so much for these RamezM.

Hi @minatasgeel Happy Feast. Could it not be inferred that the prayers are for those in hades too?
-
Happy Feast everyone! Also some excerpts from the Funeral prayers. They are so hopeful and loving... From the Prayers for the departed in the Funeral: "For there is no death for Your servants, but a departure. Even if any negligence or heedlessness …

Would still like to see an edition of the sagda in the Liturgical Books that were used in the Church before the change to see if the extended prayer mentioned by Burmester was in use.

I didn't read the St Mary Kitchener one properly, it seems that it has the original recension: Coptic (Burmester Manuscript)Coptic Prayers O Lord God, of Thy great mercy have compassion on Thy servants the living and the dead, O Creator; for Thou ha…

Thanks @CopticSoldier. Maybe someone has access to a pre-1999 version (or maybe even a pre-1950 version) to see what was actually prayed before the changes were made.
