is Synchronized Orthodox Biker Crossing an olympic sport? I give them a 10 for form, a 10 for speed and a 10 for synchronizing. But why are they doing it in the middle of the desert behind an airplane runway?

It is also found on this site here by Wagdi Bishara. As far as I know HCOC has not recorded but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up in a new CD production. I have not been able to find any recordings from Muallemeen Mikhail, Tawfik, Faheem, Ibra…

RO what is the reference?

St Shenouda the Archimandrite Coptic Society has a 4 module software system. One of the modules is the Coptic katameros for daily readings (no seasons). Otherwise you'll have to get the Coptic/Arabic book for daily readings from Egypt.

Just for you Andrew. The top part of the science half of the flow chart says "Does the evidence support the idea?" If yes, a theory is created. If no, it is a bad idea. Go back and get another idea. It's the wrong question. The right question is "C…

[quote author=qawe link=topic=14334.msg164105#msg164105 date=1365113664] Your first and last sentences border on contradiction - this kind of verbal gymnastics seems to obscure the issue. If you believe there is nothing wrong with praying with thos…

Yes the acts of an individual are the individuals. But the intention of the individual and the result of an individual's acts are often reflective of a culture. The consequences of an individual's acts are communal. No man is an island to himself bu…

There is so much wrong information in this flow chart that I can write a 5 page rebuttal. I'll just point out one thing. This flowchart assumes that scientific method can apply matters of faith. By definition an experiment can only examine finite m…

Severian, your zeal is admirable, but let's examine this. I didn't watch the entire Youtube video but I don't see where Patriarch Bartholomew prayed with Jewish leaders. It appears that he simply attended this conference/meeting. I don't think we ca…

Mina, excellent point. We need to be very careful what we claim. Orthodoxy, excellent exposition. A few points. [quote author=Orthodoxy link=topic=14347.msg164063#msg164063 date=1364792246] We must understand the exact definitions intended by the f…

[quote author=minasoliman link=topic=14347.msg164039#msg164039 date=1364663569] Well the idea could very well be fire and iron "en theoria", but after the union, it's fiery iron. [/quote] EXACTLY. Understood in this manner, both the Chalcedonian and…

Yes, Mina St Severus' example is simple-minded and it has its merits. In fact, given his time frame, this fourth century example is an excellent explanation of theosis. But it is this theme that bothers me: Iron doesn't change with fire, like the …

RO, Yes I know he didn't have any science in mind. But the point I'm making is that one can't simply use examples to explain Christology without first explaining the philosophical foundation and definition of the word nature. The example of iron is …

RO, as you requested, I'll respond to this post. I will start with a disclaimer that this is going to get very technical very fast. [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14347.msg163994#msg163994 date=1364346603] "For each form does what is pro…

It's not a matter of clarity, it's a matter of consensus (or politics). Theodore is the Anglicized name. Anglicized names are usually the standard used in English compositions. We don't say the St. Yoannes Gospel in English, we say St. John's Gosp…

[quote author=metouro link=topic=14347.msg163995#msg163995 date=1364354603] In corresponding with the Chalcedonians, I have read that there's a difference between Dogmatic Heresy and Ecclesiastic Heresy. It is claimed that EVEN IF Dioscorus' and h…

Servos, I always enjoy your input here. I thank God that you have been a shinning example of Serbian Orthodoxy and missionary. I would like to discuss a few things. I hope you recognize that we are alike in our thinking. [quote author=Servos link=…

[quote author=Servos link=topic=14334.msg163930#msg163930 date=1364028759] One hypotetical question :) If I go to Cairo to Coptic Orthodox Church, and I said to Coptic Orthodox priest: "I am Chalcedonian Serb (لكنيسة الصربية الأرثوذكسية) and I want…

RO, What one culture calls an onophorium, another culture will use the same word to describe a similar (and different) garment. Take for example, the English word "boat" is typically translated in Egyptian Cairene Arabic as "markeb". But markeb sim…

According to Lampe's dictionary ὠμοφόριον 1. cape or tippet, 2. pallium And if you do a image search for pallium, you'll see the pallium covers the entire body. It's hard to make out if it's a stole only or a cape. BTW George, I completely agr…

Altair, The fast is 55 days. This year it is from March 11 to May 4. People who are exempt from fasting are usually pregnant women, not menstruating women but this is determined by the priest. The "wilderness" and victory over Satan is from Luke …

We spoke about this before but I can't find the thread. Preparation week has nothing to do with preparation. In fact, I think it's just a misnomer. There are multiple reasons hypothesized why there is an extra week in the fast- none of them have an…
