Did it work for you Mina?

So Fr Peter Galadza wants to argue that the onus for the individual parishioner to come to church depends on how well the priest ministers and the chanters sing and articulate every word? Please. What is going to stop any individual from saying, "No…

Mabsoota is not kidding about the private forums. I literally drop my jaw every time I go there. The polemics is so high and they have no problem using profanity and making fun of the holiest of subjects. Stay away from the private forums.

Ϣⲉ has seven meanings in Coptic (this is taken from Moawad's Dictionary)1. to go (Sahidic only). Bohairic equivalent is ⲃⲱⲕ.2. Wood/cross3. the number 1004. Swearing5. Son/Daughter6. Blow/Stroke.7. Nose. If Shenoute was meant to be "son of God", it …

"But such an effort needs to have specialists, musicologists, musicians and the people, and prayers and even contribution from the other Orthodox in America (for North American missions). It's very difficult to look beyond our borders, to not build …

"One gives his beloved a rose and one also speaks to her in poetry and these things are all part of the movement of love and relationship. One does not give his beloved a rose and then tries to tell her what the symbolism of the rose is while giving…

I would like to interject and comment that based on personal experience, Fr. Michael Sorial does care about education and he does actively teach theosis and correct soteriology in his parish. He has impressed the likes of me for trying to show hims…

"@Remnkemi It's no surprise that there are contradictory implications within Fr Michael's work, as it is a summary of a mission conference where there were 2 contradictory opinions: the Orthodox opinion of the LA priests and the relativistic perspec…

Sisi is not simply visiting the cathedral on Christmas. He is definitely not protecting the Copts enough. But worse than all this is that we Copts are blinded by the impropriety. Here is what I wrote on my friend's FB when he said the Egyptian Presi…

I can't stress religious education enough. Most Catholics in the Pew Study mistakingly answered that the Catholic catechesis teaches that the Eucharist is not the real presence of Christ, but a partial appearance of Christ. Atheists and Jews got thi…

In another article by the same author, he compared the use of English language with Ethnic identity. (He only include the Eastern Orthodox. So Coptic is not in there). The statistics are very interesting. Nationally all EO jurisdiction use 73% Engli…

Fr Michael's description of missionary service of the Coptic Church falls short to address a coherent framework. This excerpt that copticmission has provided illustrates one person's opinion with no evidence to support his claims. I can go through t…

It is not going to work as you might think. There are already dictionaries available online. An artificial translator is not going to work for Coptic for the following reasons.1. Coptic does not have a lot of modern words. There is no universally ac…

"Matthew 22:21 doesn't specify what belongs to Caesar. Couldn't He have meant nothing belongs to Caesar?" It is possible but highly unlikely. If Christ wanted to say nothing belongs to Caesar, he would have said it clearer. Maybe he would have used …

Khepra wrote, "If I got married in a church by an orthodox priest,anointed with oil, and partake of the Holy Mysteries, why do I need a marriage certificate from the State?"Because it is the law (at least in every state in the United States). Matt 2…

Myself also. I would like to hear any additional recordings of Ooniatk. I would especially like to hear all the hymns you recorded found only in Upper Egypt. Can you make us a list of these hymns?

Pope Gabriel V, eighty-eighth patriarch of the See of Saint Mark (1409-1427 AD). Interestingly, Pope Gabriel's life is fairly well documented. (You won't find anything online or on Wiki). The best information is found in the Coptic Encyclopedia. I w…

Minasafwat,You wrote "5_hymns was delivered to abona el (abnoby) by fr.(boules)..the one who had the recording and one of the learners of the hymn"So did Fr Ibrahim Alabanoby record this recently? This does not sound like material from the 1940's. M…

Maybe you can find another Coptic Church that is more open to cultural diversity. I know in my area where there are 5 churches, some are heavily English focused, some are heavily Arabic focused. Maybe you just went to a Coptic Church that was heavil…

@katanikhoros,I tried to emphasize the point that there were many traditions on the Nativity fast occurring simultaneously and probably interdependently. The were independently started as localized, regional tradition, but dependent on global influe…

Are you asking about Genethlion? No it is not found in any Eastern Orthodox Church. How can I tell? It's considered "bad" Greek. Any EO church would not have any hymn in "bad" Greek. Technically, it's not "bad" Greek, it's Copticized Greek or Copto-…

The phrase "in incorruption" is very important. That means God created us in His own grace. We are not incorruptible by nature. Only the divine nature is incorruptible. Therefore, we who are "essentially corruptible" were created "in incorruptio…

"A pregnant woman needs to eat."As does any man or woman, but they can fast for 40 days (with no food). A pregnant woman can fast with no food and I doubt the fetus will have any problems (especially in the first trimester). Now there are pediatrici…

I posted another response but the internet ate it. I will resubmit it later.

I have an issue with point #2. Even if the Discovery institute was last bastion of Satan, ad hominem attacks on the Discover Institute or Berlinski are not roper responses. We are here to discuss evolution and religion in this thread, not dismiss an…

Where can I find this idea of the Jewish practice of fasting 40 days during pregnancy? Fr Shenouda says it is in Ibn Saba. This must mean the Precious Pearl/Jewel by Youhanna Ibn Sabaa. Unfortunately, Fr Shenouda did not give us a reference. If some…

In my previous comment the Roman rite has 4 days for Lent. I meant 4 Sundays. You need 5 Sundays to have a 40 day Advent fast. Although I could not find the actual Canon 9 of the Second Council of Macon (581AD), I found two interesting bits of info…
