Everything in use by the church should be consecrated. However, I have heard that if the chalice is already consecrated it sanctifies the throne if not. Don't know if this is a fact though.

Think in terms of the big picture, why exactly are you nervous about these things? Find the root of why you are being nervous. When it comes to church responses why are you nervous? Are you afraid to mess up in front of people? If so, why? You are p…

Wikipedia should not be a source you count as credible. I can go on there right now and edit the entire page you read and make it seem like we took all our tunes from other churches. Or make it seem like other churches take their tunes from us. Its …

If its not such a big deal, why in older times where the catechumens asked to leave after the Sermon? Obviously they felt the liturgy was meant for people who were worthy ONLY. The purpose of the recording and broadcasting of liturgies was intended …

That is by far the most disgusting and outrages thing i have ever seen. This is unbelievable.

Guys, you still can't tell he's joking?

Father Peter, What Geomike has said is exactly how most of us where raised in church(at least my generation) I'm only 21. lol I'm not saying I would ever be able to raise a child any better than they are being raised, but I see a sort of let the ki…

Look on your hard drive for your itunes library, it will be saved somewhere even if itunes got deleted. If you can't find it, for future reference you may want to have your library/hard drive backed up on an external HD. Good luck in your search for…

Father Peter, with all due respect I completely disagree with what you are saying. I was raised in the church from a young age and was always taught to come early. If we came at or after the gospel we couldn't take communion. The issue is these days…

Try google books, or you may just want to run to your local bookstore/amazon.com and find it there.

You can't order it, you need to go to Egypt and go to el muharraq to get it.

To be clear, if you aren't a full deacon(ie the actual rank) then you aren't considered a true deacon. The issue regarding this is that deacons are consecrated to the alter and once you become that rank you can't get married if you aren't already an…

I agree with ophedece and mina on this, serving as a deacon is simply not for everyone. I dont like to see parents forcing their children to serve and learn because in the end they will resent it more. Some grow to appreciate it, others run from any…

[quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=9401.msg115989#msg115989 date=1277590898] I know this starts early, but given that we are in Pentecost, you will hear the most beautiful hymns ever. In fact, the tune for this period even has a name: its called th…

Fady, Sorry I haven't really had time to log on and discuss this further and I don't really have time to say all I want. However, regarding the vesper praise of saturday, it is its own rite almost completely separate from vespers. If I am correct, …
