Relative to the two millennia of history that the Church has :)

Hi Jerry, I'd highly recommend this short book you can read online or download: An Introduction to the Coptic Orthodox Church. It's a short but informative overview of the Church.

There is a Coptic Church in Birmingham, Alabama: http://www.suscopts.org/churches/birmingham.html

Thanks Rony and RO, I learned a lot from your posts. I also believe the fact that the belt is made of "leather" is significant. Leather is made from the hides of (dead) cows - just as the monk is dead to this world and it's carnal lusts.

Just as St. Anthony humbled himself even before the devils, so Rony welcomes even the bots ;D

In many churches they do read the Gospel in the tune. And on weekdays in Lent (Mon-Fri), all of the hours are prayed prior to the liturgy. That includes the Veil in monasteries. On Saturdays and Sundays in Lent, only the 3rd, 6th and 9th hours are …

Its important that someone who preaches actually lives according to the words he uses. It is empty to preach of the virtues of Orthodoxy if the preacher is not putting them into practice.

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12937.msg152314#msg152314 date=1329841361] By allowing the Copts to use their rites while following Rome is an acknowledgement of Rome of the authenticity of the Coptic rite. We should not cry about this rather use …

Select quotes on fasting from St. Isaac the Syrian's Ascetical Homilies This much is known to every one, that all strife against sin and its desires is to be preceded by the labour of fasting, especially if one is combating inward sin. And the toke…

I think, as others have stated before that moderation and education are the key when dealing with Coptic in our prayers. Yes it is important that people understand the prayers. And indeed, nearly all of the Church's liturgies and prayers and hymns …

It appears that different Church Fathers have differing opinions on whether the six days were literal. Here are St. Basil the Great's Homilies on the Hexaemeron.

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12898.msg151768#msg151768 date=1329080636] Well I am going to start with one module and see how things go, since I believe that it would be useful in any case. But if I was allowed to have a slightly wider visi…

[quote author=lankyknight1990 link=topic=12897.msg151733#msg151733 date=1329012966] Also wanted to make one other point. One does not need to understand necessarily what is being said for it to be a Legitimate prayer. We teach children while they ar…

Don't let yourself be drowned in this emptiness, but reach out to God who is the only one who can truly fill that void you feel. Don't try to fill the hole with more holes: useless things that give us short term gratification but in the end lead us …
