I heard that particular edition is no longer in print :( It was the best sized one too, very compact and also had the priest's absolution and few other prayers in it.
Another really nice quote about the Eucharist:
"The Eucharist can be interpreted correctly only in eschatological categories. Performed in time (not outside of time), the Liturgy reveals in time; anticipates and gives the Kingdom of the age to come;…
A few more quotes :P
On the fine line between prayerfulness and "performance":"So the real God, the Living One, will never conform to our expectations, whether good or bad. God has promised to be there, in these sacramental liturgical realities, but…
Hi Coptic_Deacon, perhaps the Church is both Cataphatic and Apophatic? One leads to the other, neither stands in isolation. Cataphatic modes should not be used to claim that all can be know about God. Apophatic modes should not be used to say no wor…
Hi Remnkemi, wow thank you for taking the time to respond :) I'm not sure I'll be able to sufficiently respond :P
I think you're correct in bringing up the issue of identity. What can be alarming is attributing our identity to nationalism or cultura…
Some random quotes :P:
"...one of the tools is the Service (the Divine Liturgy) and the Music and the Rites, those are very affected by the Coptic tradition and culture.If you want to go to another culture, it should all change. To me, you don't hav…
Hi Everyone, what are your thoughts about a complete re-haul or reassessment of what we define as Coptic Hymnology? I might be getting in hot water by suggesting this on Tasbeha.org....but what if the following were considered:Not matching the Copti…

If the poison of pride is swelling up in you, turn to the Eucharist; and that Bread, Which is your God humbling and disguising Himself, will teach you humility. If the fever of selfish greed rages in you, feed on this Bread; and you wi…
But Mina you're bringing up a good point.... This quote attributed to St Cyril is all over the web but not one quotes the reference :s I wonder if its actually something St John Chrysostom or St Cyril of Jerusalem might have said and it's been misat…
When all else fails I always attribute quotes to popular books. Like this quote is most definately from "Purpose Driven Church" by St Cyril of Alexandria :p
Other favorites are:
"The glory of God is a man fully alive."+ St Irenaeus of Lyons, On the…
Hi Remnkemi, was the DIYscanner easy to build? Could you share any 3d files (Step, CAD, Solidworks etc) or cnc router data that you might have?
Concerning "non-professional" archiving of manuscripts, could not a crowd-sourcing model work in this ca…
I wonder if the monasteries or universities doing research in Egypt would one day be able to setup an archive project and make/use one of these http://www.diybookscanner.org
Fr Theodore Bobosh also has a nice reflection: http://frted.wordpress.com/2014/06/26/st-basil-and-21st-century-science/
Maybe Post-Modernity and Pre-Modernity are very much related...
Here's what Dr Brenneman has to say about both ID and Creation science:
"Obviously the belief that the Bible is true was not new to evangelicals or Christianity, but the fusion of Baconianism and Common Sense created a certain way the Bible was true…
Hi Remnkemi, let us look to Christ our God who gives life to all.
Thank you for these a wonderful observations and yes to behold, abide and live out our baptism in the Divine Life of Christ is our deepest longing and reality. May we resist rejectio…
Remnkemi thank you for that insight about the hymns. Please share with us your research on the manuscript or translation one day :)
I truly think that hymnology and poetry can be some of the most amazing transmitters of theology. May our Church al…
Thanks Remnkemi.
I remember when I first saw that meme online a few years back I thought wow that's a bit mean, but then it also had a playful critique. I don't think the meme is intended to offend...if you notice it's more focused on how people r…
Random quote (food for thought about the Church of the East):
"If by the term ‘Nestorianism’ we are to understand the teaching against which Cyril of Alexandria fought — that is, the teaching about the two different persons in the Son of God which l…
This is so amazing. I hope his works get translated soon.
I wonder if parishes could all pitch in together to help fund a translation effort. Like the price of sending a group to a trip internationally could potentially fund a complete translation…
