That is really interesting.. It is such an invaluable wealth to have the writings of the forefathers simplified and modernised so that we can all benefit in this generation..

Yes dear @Daniel_Kyrillos - Acts responses are all in Adam tune, exactly like the verses of cymbals and the morning doxology. Now you can see where I am going with this - added seasonal verses to the verses of cymbals - most of them are wrong, essen…
Dear @Daniel_Kyrillos,
Thank you very much for your question.. No, that is actually not the essence of my argument, but I dislike seeing some things done without thought or principles behind them. The Acts response is an Adam hymn, but the chosen ve…
Dear @Youana,
I think that you are not alone in the difficulties and problems that you are facing - we all are and the Lord is near (in so many ways of course). I found the sermons of Fr Dawood Lam'y very helpful but it depends on your fluency in Ar…
Dear @Daniel_Kyrillos,
Thank you very much for naming me but I can only vouch for @minatasgeel - I am not very well versed when it comes to rites books.. I wish I was.. Thanks a lot once again..

I believe I realised what the problem was and rectified it.. please let me know - here is the link once again should you still doubt the initial post link.. thanks a lot once again dear Dr. @minamakar, and @mabsoota, and all.. pray for me an…
Thanks a lot Mr @minamakar - I have no idea why this is happening.. Please give me a bit of time and I will sort it out.. Thanks a lot for your interest and for alerting me to this..

Hi guys,
I am awfully sorry for leaving out this important piece of information that the inspiration for this work is Mr @drewhalim - I still hope that he visits this website from time to time anyway.. God bless you all and pray for me and my family…
I thought @minatasgeel once said (if I am not mistaken) that it is usually sung during long tasbeha services, hence why it was incorporated into Kiahk and Bright Saturday.. Is that correct?

Dear @mabsoota,
Belated Happy New Coptic Year to you too but please note, last year was a leap year (AM 1739) so this year AM 1740 started on the 12th of September.. I can see your post was dated the 11th of September.. Thanks a lot anyway and stay …
Great topic @senir - I am not worthy to give an opinion but as a Christian my firm belief is that the Bible's message (first and foremost God's) is to keep oneself away from the world which is ruled by the evil one.

Hi @Jathniel,
If you are talking about public apparitions I would wait for other members to enlighten me.
I know a lot of people (and I mean a lot) who told me about apparitions of saints talking to them and giving them specific instructions for ins…
Thanks @mabsoota for reassuring me - I am trying to update my style and glad to hear that it is working. God bless you and please keep me and my family in your prayers..

@mabsoota,
You made me laugh out loud..
I guess the disease of the mass media generation is that we tend to believe repeated headlines without delving deep.
Exactly like you said though, when we start profound discussions based on proper research (…
Hi @Yoan,
Our Father in heaven is translated differently in various Arabic versions - Coptic doesn't change.
Ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ should be one "glory to You" because in Coptic we praise and beseech the Trinitarian God - ⲇⲟⲝⲁⲥⲓ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲉ, ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲉ ⲉⲗⲉⲏⲥⲟⲛ, ⲕ…
Very well said @minatasgeel - great response..
If I may add one thing too albeit only as a contemplation, while the liturgy is the work of the people, there is an important value in declaring a personal faith at times to the extent like @ItalianCopt…
Hi @mabsoota,
As you rightly say I would say the Coptic refrain and avoid the English and Arabic - however, I would encourage a higher level of singing, since the psalm tune without the refrain is the original hymn, not made up like the one with the…
@minatasgeel - let's agree to disagree. To you it is far fetched, but to me I have no intention of changing what you have been accustomed to. This in itself is not enough for me to accept things just like that - I question everything including the "…
