I personally dont see the point to get rid of all audio-visuals equipment. There is nothing wrong with having a microphone and projector in church. Yes Holy week is Holy but so is the liturgy. Maybe we should get rid of all audio-visuals in that cas…
That is true that we should be happy but it also means that we commemorate what Christ did for us; the physical pains he had to suffer on our behalf. So in pascha, we are re-living what had happened through our rituals and hymns/readings. This cause…
Golgotha is very beautiful. The sad pauline, praxis, agios and omonogenees are also really beautiful. For my favorite hymn though, that would have to be pekethronos. It is by far the most beautiful because of its amazing tune and wonderful words. As…
There is actually more to it than just that. The tunes for "tenoueh ensok" can be done in the long gospel response of je peniot...and i believe there are other tunes as well.

Maybe you dont have to teach all of these hymns. I think doxologies arent as important as some hymns like : Kerie leyson, entho te tishory, share efnooty, meghalou, psalm 150, and A penchoice. I think its good to have the main hymns taught so that w…
Maybe you can go by whatever occasion we are in, for example, right now we are in lent...so its good to learn stuff for lent. Here is a basic outline i just made:
Weekday hymns:
Kerie leyson (highschool/adults)
Alleluia E eie (all ages)
Nefsenty (…
Lost,
I encourage you to not watch t.v, play games, sit at home all day....believe it or not, all these things can help enhance some of these urges. The best advice i can give you, other than seeing your father of confession, is to keep yourself bu…
I personally love the copticheritage.org site! It has classes for many hymns as well as contemplations, the summary of our church rites, spiritual songs, and much more. The HCOC choir is amazing, and their recordings have encouraged me to learn more…
I was talking about the bowing. I also have heard this before but not from an authoritative source. Let me ask you another question....Do you kiss abouna's hand after communion?

Tony
Minagir, did an authoritative figure of the church tell you that? if so, i would like to know who.
Anyway, regarding your situation, maybe you can suggest to abouna to have these announcements before or after the sermon-that is what my priest does…
Meghalou,Kerie leyson, and Onishty emmisterion!! the best recording i have ever heard of meghalou is in the cyrillian liturgy by Fr. Sawerious Marcos, its the first track and its on the site...and im listening to it as we speak ;D

Well, im going to give you some advice that many priests have told me. First is that you recognize that you are far from perfect and that you are a sinner. Second, you should start reading the Word of God because it is very important that you know G…

Meet and right, what does it mean?

I think this is exactly why it has been changed to "Worthy and Right."

I respect mina's decision, we each have our opinion on the matter....but the most important thing is that we love God and we are dedicated to this service.

I just want to make a small comment on what your wrote. Muallem mikhail trusted his disciples to teach these hymns yes, but that was assuming that they would not change, which they did! Also, i dont think you understand what they are doing...they ar…

Mina,
The church claims, atleast the clergy i know, is that the number one source to follow is muallem mikhail el kabeer. And this makes since since he is the teacher that pope kirollos the 5th appointed to record the hymns of the church so they wo…
Mina,
When i said research, i was not talking about the deacon service book. I was talking about the research that is gone into finding the correct way of saying a particular hymn. The work and analyzing that is underwent when they are unable to f…
Mina, I resent the fact that you think Albeir Mikhail is not a good source. I believe him to be the best source compared to everyone else. The effort he goes into with his research is beyond anything I have heard or seen. He has a special zeal to tr…
I love all coptic hymns, however, in the case of great lent, i am very partial to Meghalou and Onishty emmisterion
My favorite pascha hymn would DEFINTELY be pekethronos, not only because the tune is the most beautiful tune i have ever heard, but a…
I just have one more thing i wiould like to say about this subject for those of you who have thought about committing suicide:
You are basically denying the work of the Holy Spirit (God himself) by taking your own life. If you truly believe in God'…
Hello Coptic Servant,
I just want to say that what Clay wrote earlier was some very good advice which needs to be taken into consideration. You are not just a nobody who deserves no attention whatsoever, you are a Christian person who strongly need…
