It used to be unacceptable to even wear short sleeves (Pope St. Kyrillos VI did not like to see anyone enter in church with short sleeves, even men). Some monasteries still keep that tradition (I.e. You're not allowed to enter the monastery with sh…

Lol...you're not interested in appreciating the thought that goes through why we do what we do? ;) It seems from the texts and recordings I have, there's no "ke Danieel". Do you have any recordings that include "ke Danieel"? Edit: nvm, I found th…

We tend to try to teach no one has "a right to the mic" so to speak. If you are given it, take it. If not, stay with the crowd. We tend to accept the leadership and sharing roles more than infighting, even if we have capable chanters that don't l…

I have not experienced this at all in my parish. Sorry to hear about that.
-
I have grown to see the cymbals to be in some ways antithetical to the idea that we keep tempo, and in some ways, it has also been used in a loud and hyped manner. If cymbals must be used, it should be very very very lightly. If people can keep te…

My mistake. :)

Well, pray for Ethiopia, because at the moment, its approximately 50/50 Christian/Muslim.
-
Thank God!
-
My dear brother, you speak as if it's easy for you to convert from Islam to Christianity inside Egypt. Do you realize that some people despite how difficult it is to find jobs in those atheist countries still are afforded freedom to practice their …

Yes, absolutely! Visit the closest priest. Copts are very friendly everywhere, and we have many churches in Israel from what I understand.
-
God bless you my friend! You are very brave. This survey is for the Copts in North America. I admit the survey is strange as it depends on each parish and it depends on perception as well. Our parish thank God doesn't not have much problems. …

Where I live in the NJ/NYC area, it seems to be frequent more so than we like, and we hope that more theological education (part of the problem is ignorance) can lead this to be less frequent in the future. Keep us in your prayers.

That's the million dollar question that comes with a ton of cans of worms. I have studied this problem for...oh...about 13 years now. It's all in the history and the type of reverence one has for the councils and saints, so much so that to reconci…

I cannot for the life of me how you deduce Mary was an unbeliever when the Bible clearly states she was faithful to the END! Consider Luke chapter 1: +++ 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazare…

But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but the God…

Sweet! Thank you!

It seems to be available only in the parish in Spotswood, NJ for now (where Abouna Tadros prays). But there's a plan for distribution hopefully in more parishes in the near future.

Abouna Tadros Malaty is concentrating some energy writing commentaries for the deuterocanon these days. I've seen an effort made for Sirach so far.

Sadly Mokattam is not the only place. Let's pray that this can be stopped.

Translation please?

Therefore the One who was born was also named Emmanuel, since He is one indivisible and without confusion, out of two natures, both divinity and humanity. This One who, since He possesses all the unique and indivisible qualities, namely, His incorpo…

We steady do have anathemas in our hymns and synaxarium.

We already discussed this elsewhere: http://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/15450/the-deification-of-man-hh-pope-shenouda-iii/p1 I want to keep this thread only on St. Severus' views of deification.
