Ok, what upset me is that all the comments under the youtube video believe that it's a miracle and they are all saying allh akbar. However, this cannot be a sign from god but it is clearly from the devil. The mother herself said that whenever the ve…

I am part of the Constitution Team at my school and my unit focuses on the Bill of Rights and its application. So like I said before the first amendment creates a tension as it says that gov't will not establish a specific religion but will also all…

I find it interesting how in America to promote equality in the first amendment we say "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" while in europe they claim that no one should show …

Since my church has two different liturgies, one for Arabic and one for English speakers, we do not really experience that conflict. I know in Canada, a coptic church grew to have so many converts, the priest said they have around 30 different elas…

One of my favorite verses in the whole Bible, or at least one that i can closely identify with is "Charm is deceitful, beauty is fading, but a woman that fears the Lord is to be praised" it is in Proverbs 31 God Bless

We just had our summer convention and we asked the bishop about it. Obviously as a church we do not support abortion. However, rape is tricky. First of all the decision is made on a case to case basis. So each case is evaluated individually to deter…

I was just reading a book by Father Tadrous Malaty and he talks about the church abroad. He was saying that parents should sacrifice and learn English because sooner or later, maybe 50 yrs down the road, the arabic population will die out and englis…

hey, well i used to struggle with the same thing but i learned how to overcome it. Ppl would always ask me for things and i would give it to them but i later realized that i was not doing it necessarily out of love. i just did it because this was t…

As a choir we are part of the congregation, but so are the deacons that sing outside the altar! If u read in a liturgy book it says "priest" "deacon" (inside the altar) and "congregation" So technically the epsaltos deacons and the choir and the pe…

Basically to become a deaconess u have to, just like a deacon, attend hymn classes regularly, then whenever the bishop comes the girls bring their tonias (which moms volunteer to make for us) then we attend a liturgy and he simply prays on u. It is …

Hi egyboy, when i first read you post i thought "well, all new comers tend to feel lonely or alienated". But as i read on and you said it started from a younger age, the situation got a little more serious. As a matter of fact, we were just talking …
