Daniel, thanks for posting your journal, wow, it really is a shame I couldn't attend this festival because it looks just wonderful... But hopefully I will in the years to come, we could all go as the 'Tasbeha-delegation' lol

The answer is not to go and tell others that God exists, and prove to them that atheism is un…
if it will be aired on ctv then you can just type in ctv coptic in google and go to the "live broadcast" tab
but it's a very tiny screen so it's not the best solution, but it's all I know of...
Dear Aidan,
I would say this: not everyone who attends church and takes communion in the COC is indeed Coptic Orthodox.
This might not have been the case for you specifically with this young man sitting next to you, but very recently the Pope warn…

As a uni student myself I can tell you this: when you are overwhelmed by a great amout of work, many deadlines, exams etc. and you start to stress, it's the fact that you're doing something you love that'll get you through it a…

so no one knows what we are doing wrong to attract the attention of the sole superpower to support our cause?

We already have THE superpower supporting our cause...
I know how difficult this is, but know that the Comforter is near you and your family at this time...
It also helps to remember the good memories of the moments you spent together and know that those memories will always live on.

I also don't like what goes on in church with the long mass and people hanging out for long periods at church. It becomes less of a house of God and more of a nady/park.

Coptic mass is just too long and has resulted in the following:
1. Hard to stay focused for so many hours (that's why a lot of people go late).
2. Children can't sit still a…

I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I don't think it should be too much.
However, before we throw a stone at protestants here, what about priests in our own church w…

That doesn't bother me, half the tunes we use in the church were used to praise pagan Egyptian gods - I find Quranic tunes musically beautiful in and of themselves, l…
I agree with jydeacon and Fr. Peter,
we should make an effort ourselves, but I don't believe that excuses the lack of attention given to this subject in the mainstream church teachings and sermons... (or maybe tht's just my impression)
Fr. Peter,…
I agree with Certified,
I too have found that the focus in most sermons and religious conferences I have heard was mostly on God's love, the relationship between God and man etc. Of course, these subjects are very intersting, but I feel that a big…
Dear all,
I really applaud your dedication and love, but honestly, the American government know everything, everyone knows, they also know what is going on in Burundi, Rwanda, Congo, Malesya, Sudan, etc etc etc. THEY JUST DON'T CARE!!!!

By the way, are we allowed to waste our time and energy and pray for the coward murderers who no-doubt are children of Lucifer?

Is this Christianity???
I think the American government knows all too well what is going on, their problem is that there is not enough oil in Egypt for them to take any steps...
America is not the Good Samaritan who goes around rescuing those in need...
"and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones." (Matthew 3:9)
Dear Meena,
I'm not sure what you are saying is correct...
The Bible teaches us that there is jew nor gentile, male nor female, slave nor free, all are one in Christ, it is this unity that transcends age, colour, ethnicity, sex etc. that is so ty…

My opinion is that allowing gays to have a civil marriage is the right thing to do, as in my opinion, civil marriage is no more than a contract. I understand some people might see more in it, but legally it is just a binding contract between two peo…
