^^ I always wanted to know if you guys had a pope like we do.......Because i never hear of any ethiopian, syrian, pakistan, and all those middle eastern orthodox churches having a pope besides us
It is good to have you on tasbeha site, hope to hear from you often. Ethiopian Orthodox Church is, as Coptic Orthodox Church, an Oriental Orthodox Church. They both share the same believe and with the Syrian, Armenian, Eritrean and Malanka India., they constitute the family of Oriental Orthodoxy.
Thank you guys,i couldn't beleive when i saw all these replies.you are so wonderful!
wel to answer to some of your quetions;
yes we do have our own pope we are catagorized as oriental orthodox church we have a lot of ethiopian saints you can see a lot of miracles in our church for example there are churchs whose holy water heals the most dangerous diseases like HIV AIDS.(i have seen people giving testimony)
May Glory be to our Lord! we have a wonderful ancient church.brothers and sisters we should be proud to be part of this church and dont be afraid to tell other people about our religion.
in the end what i want to tell you is that i like pope shounoda(sorry about the spelling). i always read his books some of them are translated into my language.recently i read diabolic wars and i learnt a lot! he is a wonderful pope! May God bless him more!
OKay brothers and sisters pray for me. May the intercession of our mother St Mary be with you all the time Amen!
hey im form Archangel Micheal and St Beshoy Coptic Orthodox Church in Sydney Australia! i would just like to add that this church was the first ever coptic orthodox church to be built outside of egypt!!!!!!!!!!! It was strated by The Very Reverend the late abouna Mina Nematalla who was pope kyrilos' nephew!!(preaty kool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) we have 4 priests and our english church is st mary and saint stephen!!
marmar, i was readin be4 about u runnin into the altar.. nd u said abouna beamen (God rest his soul) was the priest..so therefore u must b from the makkar cuz he was our priest.. he was so great, i miss him ! so are you? and i think if u are, i can take a wild guess at who u r lol
i told you, im from the makkar.. nd im pretty sure i kno who u r lol..yes abouna beman was THE man.. he was sucha saint.. i miss him a lot :( .. but yah.. may God grant us the Christian perfection so that we may one day see him again in heaven ..
[quote author=MarMar91 link=board=6;threadid=620;start=240#msg35641 date=1124856617] lol.. actaully, I'm am originally from St. George and St. Shenouda Church, Jersey City, but then again who isn't? I mean all Egyptians in NJ lived in Jersey City at one point or another..
lol... :)that is sooo true ;D :P
my uncle and his family live in some place around here called Saddle River (even farther than Rutherford) and they still go to Bergen. That's like the main church of NJ.
I've never lived in Jersey City, but Bergen is my church. I love that church, and even though my parents want to visit other churchs, I tell them to leave me at Bergen and they can go because I love my church so much. Abouna Dawoud and Abouna Sourial are both God sent and without them I'd be lost. They help me so much, even if it seems unintentionally, but I know that it's all God's will, so I don't want to change to another church.
