No its not wrong.

As long as you are not a distraction to anyone else I see no issue to taking notes. I think its more beneficial to give your full attention since when you take notes, in general, you may miss somethings. When benefiting spiritually it is best to not…

Actually Christs Servant is the one who deserves the credit for the video :)

I think that since you don't have many options the best thing if you want a silent environment is to pray when no one is at home. Or do your best to ignore these distractions as at times they are inevitable. Even monks who live in the desert are fac…

Spirituality of Fasting is definitely a book one should read during this time. However, Anything anyone doing here(hopefully) was recommended to them by their FOC. Which is what you should do, talk to your FOC and get his recommendations and applica…

No, we don't break the fast for any of the occasions that fall during Lent, even the feast of the Cross.

Have you checked this website?

www.orthodoxbookstore.org Or www.stmosesbookstore.org/ will probably have them.

I had to do something similar for my marketing class. The assignment was to take a product that failed and improve its marketing strategy. Try Crystal Pepsi( look it up if you haven't heard of it). Take it from the perspective of parents or people w…

Well isn't the Bible a mass produced message? Yet it affects each of us on a personal level? I would say the same thing holds true for anything you pick up. Think back to any English course you've taken, when the whole class read the same exact book…

Thank you TITL! This is great!

Days were measured(and still are in the church) from sunset to sunset.

It has been a while haha, sorry man, I've been crazy busy with school, kinda cut myself off from the world lol. Pray for me man! [quote author=JG link=topic=10781.msg131247#msg131247 date=1298290176] What do you think regarding this? Can God's uniqu…

I don't have a specific opinion about this work, I have not had the pleasure of reading it. I do think though, that patristic commentaries are an important aspect to readings. It's always best to follow the fathers and how they interpret scripture t…

What most people do not understand specifically with great lent, is that during weekdays, monday-fri, we are not to eat until sunset(the muslim month of ramadan is fashioned from our true Traditions of great lent). This is why during great lent our …

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10626.msg129943#msg129943 date=1297095618] At the time of Patriarch Simon the Tanner the WHOLE Orthodox community faced extermination. Mubarak has done nothing comparable. [/quote] Just on a side note Father, …

The tune for golgotha was used at the burial of pharaohs

I don't think it is celebrated in tubah or baramouda(i might be mixing this up with bashans) but its around this time that its not celebrated. I will have to refer to my khedmit el shamas to be sure

If you go to the other lessons he explains the weak form articles. Weak form is used to distinguish the verb or show uniqueness. ep is part of the weak form, to show Uniqueness when speaking about the King of Peace. So its Epouro

I highly doubt there are numerous copts at these protests at this point. They will be few and far between.
-
I agree, it is to be shared. But not in this type of manner. Also, we face the struggle of losing our youth to protestant based churches. I think before we can focus on spreading the faith and things in that manner, we should focus on keep our youth…

Epchois, I disagree. People convert to Orthodoxy because they like what they see. As I've already said, I'm not for total coptic, english or arabic. As long as there some sort of balance that is best. However, our job is not to evangelize or bring…

I don't think it is Epiphania, at least not propagated in the proper way ie the clergy, I have never been taught that this was a prophecy that hasn't been fulfilled. DimyanCoptic, I'm not sure what to believe. All I hear are rumors spreading amo…
-
Epiphania the first half of that chapter is referring to Christs flight to Egypt. "Behold, the Lord sits on a swift cloud and shall come to Egypt..." I am quite surprised that not more of you have heard the proper interpretation of this verse/chapte…

We've already discussed this. The prophecy relates to Christs fleeing to Egypt. Not its state right now.

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10599.msg129304#msg129304 date=1296603800] And the hierarchy of the Church has authorised this in what way? [/quote] They haven't, rumors tend to spread about things like this like a wildfire.

I think the arab conquest did have affect on the church being known as the Coptic church, but I also think that came with the splits in Chalcedon and the other splits that occurred in the churches history. Since we were not technically one universal…

Father Peter, the term Coptic originates from Greek word Aigyptos meaning Egyptian, it doesn't simply refer to a language. So when we say the Coptic church-We are saying the Egyptian Church.
