Working on it...

That is a good question. It came up before. But the rule that we always followed is you must always seal it with the Blood. So, if you take both and didn't break the fast yet, with water or orban or anything, you can take the body again as long as y…

Yes, you need to mention them and tell abouna I remembered these sins.
-
There are "guidelines" for the ordination of presbyters and all the clergy ranks actually. But, a bishop can always make exceptions.
-
To the first part...The reason that it's NOT in a the liturgy book is because it's NOT a rule. The deacons that are "supposed" to be serving in the sanctuary should be full deacons. But due to the lack of consecrated deacons in our church, an except…

You need to speak to a priest ASAP about this and from there he'll refer you to a specific therapist or psychologist to talk to. That is the advice that you need to take to heart and do.
-
We don't have the "Daniel Fast"...if i am not mistaken, that's something that many non-denominational groups do and maybe some Protestants groups.
-
I stand corrected then if that is the case. That will not change what the OO does though.

What makes marriage a sacred union is the proper belief in God. If only one party of that union doesn't have that belief, the the act of unification is null and void. The same thing as someone who is not a Christian "decides" to take communion. The …

You have to consider that the writings you are referencing were not exactly "mainstream" if they are not part of the Canon of the NT that was held true in the Church of Alexandria. Gnosticism was a formidable sect in Upper Egypt and most of the writ…

@Rako...You think we need to take it easy with all the non-canonical NT books. You are on a Coptic Orthodox Church affiliated forum. We care more about topics that concern the members of the Church. What you are providing here doesn't benefit the go…
-
@learningorthodoxy, Let me try to clarify the concept here. Marriage in the orthodox understanding is a unity between a man and a woman that is sanctified by God Himself. It's a mystery...so much that it was liked to the act of salvation itself...Ch…
-
@learningorthodoxy....you DON'T have to have "an icon corner" in your home or even any icons. It's recommended to take the blessing of that specific saint or picture or icons.

I haven't seen it written, in Arabic, yet. But Bishop Daniel of Maadi said on TV in an interview by CTV
-
Yes.
-
The Synod DID NOT change anything yet. The idea was proposed that the couple, together, would take/read a pledge to the Church in front of the priests. It would happen when the couples get to the deacon's chorus after being led in and before the dec…

No one can really answer that question. There are too many cantors and churches that are still on their own that we don't hear of at all.
-
So most of these saints hymn have one or two parts in the beginning that are supposed to be unique...and then the rest is a paralex. The paralex is easy to figure out since probably one of those hymns is saved, and you just rakep the rest of the hym…

The founder of Christianity is our Lord Jesus Christ. Then He gave His Disciples and Apostles to preach and establish churches/parishes/organizations to practice that which He gave them--eternal salvation. That being said, in today's world, and sinc…

@copt333 ... St. Mark preached Christianity and he established the Church of Alexandria. Of that church, Arius came, and many gnostic teachings around Nag hammadi and modern day Asyut. So we, and history does for sure, must differentiate between the…
-
@copt333...you maybe have some confusion concerning the history of the Coptic Catholic Church. First, if your Patriarch is His Beatitude Ibrahim Isaac Sidrak, then your church was founded in 1741 by the Coptic Orthodox Bishop Athanasius of Jerusalem…

- Apinav shoubi proper location is after Shere Maria. You can see that in Albair's book. It's more like a hymn to ask for blessings of saints. That's why Ere po-esmou of St. John the Beloved on bright saturday sounds very much the same as api-nav sh…
-
So here is a fact that you need to consider: not everyone who is baptized, chrismated, believe in Christ...etc will go to heaven. Life is not that systematic. All of these "things" to be or do are meant to bring us back to our original perfect human…
-
He might simply not be celebrated in the Coptic Church, which is totally accebtable.
-
@Augin...because they don't handle the Mysteries in the same way that a priest does.
-
According to HGBY, the decision concerning O nim nai and Ya kol al-sofof doesn't apply to the Pentecost day.
-
"recommendations" are ones that are decisions and agreed upon by the synod...but they were called that to allow each bishop to ease in these changes to their diocese and church on their own timeframe.
-
Apinav shopi should never ever replace Alli el orban, while everyone does it in fasts for no reason of whatsoever. The correct place for all nav shobi is right after Shere Maria Tioro. That being said, only Alli el orban is left to be said all the t…
