  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10595.msg129077#msg129077 date=1296466332] I have to say that as a convert it is rather confusing to say the least that on the one hand the Coptic Tradition is presented as unchanging, and on the other hand we l…
  • Father Peter, I definitely agree with you on this. However, the issue here lies in the older generations not willing to give up arabic and the younger refusing(rightly) to be praying in Arabic a language they have absolutely no tie to. So what ends …
  • This prophecy is directly of Christ.
  • Not that i know of, but you don't have to rush through them. If you say communion takes an hour, you have plenty to say. Psalm 150(all three languages)-Long piou fa pennoti pe at the end. Pioik(in more than one language if you please). Our Father an…
  • Tamgeeds are technically not supposed to be done during communion, but are supposed to be done after the synixar. But seem to become a trend. The order is what mina posted. Psalm 150, Pioik, Our Father and night of the last supper. That should usual…

  • [quote author=TITL link=topic=10572.msg128779#msg128779 date=1296265223] He'll never be president. If Mobarak gets shot (God willing.. I mean, God forbid..) then Gamal, his son, will take his place. Fact. [/quote] You do realize that if mubarak lea…
  • Except that he is under house arrest.
  • What exactly were you expecting? Mubarak to leave peacefully and say, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize people hated me this much." People in power do not leave easily. Edit: An article from the WSJ: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703956…
  • Everyone thinks its coming to an end because of whats happening in Egypt? Egypt has revolted many times before. The great depression was a much worse financial times. WWII and WWI were worse wars than the ones we face now. If its to come so be it, i…
  • Prostrations are not found among the congregation these days. They just bend down and worship that way.
  • Here you go: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/1819
  • Ahh I see what you mean now, yes that seems to be prevalent in discussions and meetings, however majority of churches have true iconography. I wouldn't be very worried about this though since the churches that don't have this type of iconography are…
  • Father Peter, what type of iconography are you suggesting? I have only been to one church(two actually) that don't have coptic iconography per se. Can you provide a link to an icon you consider non-coptic? I'm not exactly sure what you are talking a…
  • Cyril the pope has more pressing issues to deal with then whether or not the Moftah family has recordings and is keeping it to themselves. Thats not what mina is saying. At the time of Ragheb Moftah and Mlm Mikhael, people did not really care about …
  • I agree completely with Father Peter, The Body and Blood of Christ is our spiritual manna. Just as our body is in constant need of food and drink, so also is our spirit in need of this food. IF possible, its best to take communion every chance you g…
  • Lol no, it really doesn't exist. Gotcha! :p
  • [quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=10515.msg127830#msg127830 date=1295721698] [quote author=jydeacon link=topic=10515.msg127829#msg127829 date=1295721444] a kanye west [/quote] min dah???????  ;D [/quote] Lol mina he is a rapper ahah.
  • Wow, lol i can't believe there is a story behind it now as well. It is most definitely fake, it really does not exist. You can still probably go on to the coptichymns.net archives and find the discussion on there. I remember it, lol it was quite fun…
  • I agree with mina, a chorus is not meant to relay spirituality in a sound booth or a recording session. The purpose of a recording is for you guys to learn the hymns. Plan and simple. If in fact if you can pull "a spirituality" from a recording, mos…
  • Cyril, read my last post, I did not say the Kiahk hos doesn't exist. Ragheb Moftah is not a cantor, he has no recordings. And I did not say they are in fact hiding them. I said if anything his family would be the ones keeping Muallem mikhaels record…
  • No, sorry i just re-read what i posted sorry if it came off like that, im saying that the Long first hos most likely does not exist anymore.
  • Here you go: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/
  • 1st hos long tune..you might be thinking The long kiahk hos. I don't think it exists anymore if it did. La7n el shama3a is fake, no such thing. Tishori alexandrian tune is great, wagdi bishara recorded it. You might want to contact him for it. C…
  • The last sentence is still part of the parable.
  • Lol, You don't have to like what I am saying or agree with it at all, its ok I am used to people not liking what I have to say haha. The same way what I said doesn't sit right with you, what you are saying doesn't sit right with me. I can't see how …
  • I agree with pretty much everything TITL says, except that even through the intercessions and prayers, if its not according to His plan to begin with, He will not change it. To imply that God changes His mind makes it seem like the way He was doing …
  • The Laqqan is not always done after matins, in my church we did Laqqan before matins, in annual tune. Mind you guys, this prayer is almost the EXACT same prayer(if not it probably is the same prayer) as done before baptisms. The liturgy of the water…
  • For those who don't know...A little history on the Psaltos, it was not an original rank. But since there was a lack of knowledge in hymns and the rites among the laity, this rank was instituted as an effort to preserve the hymns and so that someone …
