  • [quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=12849.msg151443#msg151443 date=1328302611] [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12849.msg151440#msg151440 date=1328301249] What of this version? [/quote] surprisingly, she is saying the thanksgiving prayer in …
  • [quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=12849.msg151385#msg151385 date=1328175814] Has anyone noticed that whenever I comment on a simple thread , it turns into a major discussion? [/quote] Its always been that way I think  ;D
  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12861.msg151338#msg151338 date=1328104978] [quote author=JG link=topic=12861.msg151314#msg151314 date=1328050987] I think it might be worth getting a subforum dedicated purely to "GB vs. OB" discussions for imikhail…
  • I think it might be worth getting a subforum dedicated purely to "GB vs. OB" discussions for imikhail, ophadece and Remenkimi.
  • I am very sorry that I derailed this thread. Regarding your lost item: pray to God, and through the intercessions of his saints, it will show up.
  • [quote author=Andrew link=topic=12850.msg151183#msg151183 date=1327781842] JG, By "yep" do you mean people are misusing "anba" or that he should be called by that title? [/quote] Sorry, I should have been clearer with my response  :) The term "a…
  • [quote author=Andrew link=topic=12850.msg151180#msg151180 date=1327779050] Anba (?) Wannas. . . I thought that was for bishops of abbas, wasn't Wannas a child saint? [/quote] Yep. http://www.windsorcopts.com/index.php?p=2_33
  • Thanks a tonne Fr. Peter, love it!
  • [quote author=Andrew link=topic=12797.msg151013#msg151013 date=1327428798] It would be great if you could post your sermons online father. I find that Coptic Orthodox youth have no good source for Orthodox sermons (don't refer me to the website bear…
  • [quote author=LoveisDivine link=topic=12797.msg150999#msg150999 date=1327394772] I don't think it something which can be resolved with an explanation; people need to get more value from our Orthodox Tradition.  I think Fr. Peters convictions as an e…
  • [quote author=Gabriella link=topic=12807.msg150447#msg150447 date=1326570538] I downloaded the fonts from under "Download for Windows" and refreshed the site but it still looks the same to me...is there anything else I need to do? My apologies, I'm …

  • [quote author=Gabriella link=topic=12807.msg150444#msg150444 date=1326569370] Thank you Andrew! That article is actually really helpful.  I cant read some of the titles of the chants, though, so do I need to download Coptic fonts or something of the…

  • The Synaxarium contains an account of the saint's life, directed towards the congregation. The Antiphonarium contains an account of the saint's life, directed towards the saint, as imikhail said: like a doxology. The former is for teaching, the l…
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12781.msg150234#msg150234 date=1326229978] Let me say on this thread, rather than starting a new one, that I am enjoying the intermediate intensive Coptic Language course at Kings College very much indeed. It is…
  • Congratulations and the prayers of the saints!
  • I think there is too much bellyaching and too much bellydancing and not enough hard work.  A proper deacon is not afforded/accorded the time for bellyaching and bellydancing. Love this quote.
  • Cheers Remenkimi! I clearly need to double my efforts in learning Coptic  ;D
  • Does heppe evke neman mean "through our prayers"? Although what the fraction for the Korban is, I don't know.
  • I've just read through this thread, and am very pleased this discussion has sparked such interest (although digressing somewhat from the original topic at times.) I have nothing of value to add, and although I haven't the knowledge of the history a…
  • I do feel that microphones are necessary father, particularly in churches with fewer serving deacons, and in those with a large congregation. There is often a baseline level of noise in the latter, and it can be taxing on the voices of deacons when …
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12699.msg149365#msg149365 date=1324493105] I have to admit to not understanding why a microphone is necessary. I have never used one. Our fathers never used them. If a building is so big that the voice of the p…
  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12699.msg149362#msg149362 date=1324485203] And finally, everyone must learn Coptic. Period. No exceptions.  ;D[/quote] Remenkimi for President!  ;D
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12699.msg149356#msg149356 date=1324476770] Take a pair of scissors, cut the microphone wire, and the problem is solved. [/quote] Just be sure to reimburse the church for damages.
  • [quote author=CopticStrength link=topic=12716.msg149341#msg149341 date=1324445056] But what if you have anxiety and depression all of the time? You feel that you can't do anything and your just as worthless as the dirt that is not useful in anything…

  • On the third drop down menu, Cantor Gad is the 9th name from the bottom. Click on him, and press the button below to search. Now, whenever you see one of the hymns with "تعــلــيـــمي" in a box on the left, it's an instructional lesson. Usually in …
  • alhan-youthbishopric.com/alhan/hr/hymns/index.asp Search for Cantor Gad (the third category on that page).
  • You'll notice that there are a lot of blind or partially sighted cantors in Egypt. The reason I believe has some history, but I will leave that to those who know what they are talking about to give you real information. From what I've heard at any …
  • My Father of Confession always used to tell me: it isn't a sin to look at something pretty, its a sin if you stare. Noticing these kinds of things is natural, particularly at your age when you first become attentive to them. There is nothing you ca…

  • [quote [email protected] link=topic=12647.msg149045#msg149045 date=1323891194] What! You started Vespers praise at 10:30 AM?! And, went until 11PM?! God bless you. I believe (just a theory) that the Kiahk vigil was originally much shorter…
