Metanoia,
Don't worry about the spelling of my name. I realize not everyone's browser may necessary support the Greek (or Coptic for that matter) font. Feel free to use 'Cephas' instead. :)
Hey, welcome... I've been here for a while (as you can see)... I love it. It's a great site, I'm glad you joined. We will never feel sorry, feel free to ask every single question you may have. I'm also from New Jersey, I go to the Virgin Mary and St. John's Church, also in Bayonne. Feel free to pay a visit anytime. (My name is Marrian)...
Hi I am also from Jersey City. I am actually American and was raised catholic but mom did not practice her religion because she become libral minded. Anyhow, I was introduce to the Coptic Church by a very good friend of mine. I met her in a homeless shelter, she was a volunteer and I was homeless. Anyhow, she invited me to church and I am happy I went. It has improved my life. I eventually made the choice to get baptized and it was the best choice I have ever made.

This is goods to know! Thanks! The dipthong ο and ι (οι) in Greek are also pronounced "long e", despite being so often mis-pronounced.
