Qawe, sorry for the late response. Let's discuss this more. [quote author=qawe link=topic=14196.msg162981#msg162981 date=1359111605] [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=14196.msg162975#msg162975 date=1359073791] However, the Synod is neither setup as…

[quote author=qawe link=topic=14196.msg162953#msg162953 date=1359000510] Theoretically the general bishops have their own vote of course, but realistically and practically they are not going to go against the Pope, as he is their boss[/quote] Qawe, …

But the pope is not alone. In the US, he has a patriarchal exarch for North America through Bishop David, a patriarchal exarch for the Eritreans in the US through Bishop Macarius, a suffragan diocese of Virgina through Bishop Michael, and 2 diocese …

Do you realize your last message (especially "do something even more extreme and dangerous to my body" after a hunger strike) is the classical philosophy of anorexia and other eating disorders? Do you realize going outside in -30 degree weather with…

I'll help you when you send us pictures. I have a lot of manuscripts like the one you described (electronic copies only). If I can't help, I know people who can.

Yes you need to shut of smart quotes in both "auto-correct" and "auto-correct while you type" in Microsoft Word. Then it works correctly.

Female circumcision was never allowed in Christianity or Judaism. Male circumcision is no longer a requirement as described in the first council in Jerusalem in Acts 15 and many of St Paul's letters.

You can think of circumscript as something that is confined, enclosed or encompassed in a circumference or circle. Something that is uncircumscript is something that can't be confined, enclosed or encompassed. Circumcision is the removal a piece o…

InChrist7, It's not that I thought your comments were directed at me or any individual. it is broad generalizations that irk me. They often condemn an entire population simply because one belongs to that population and not because of any actual wro…

First of all, don't ever be embarrassed for not knowing an answer to a question. Only God knows the answers to all questions. The only thing that would be embarrassing is not asking the question when someone may have an answer. The Circumcision fea…

Very well said Marina, Don't regret posting a link to your show. It provoked some interesting (and some unnecessary) discussion and debate. But I think God had a good purpose for this thread all along. At the very least, you now have more material …

[quote author=solidman link=topic=14150.msg162720#msg162720 date=1358290904] A device is a tool... I think we're getting caught up in semantics here. I did not mean to belittle the grace of all that our orthodox faith has preserved for us. I merely …

[quote author=Theophilus 1 link=topic=14158.msg162704#msg162704 date=1358274892] Hi Rita, I think I heard this form a sermon by Fr. Anthony Massey (or another priest). There are two words in Greek for ‘world’: cosmos & mundo (not sure if these…

While I'm not Marina or Andrew and I don't represent what they believe, I would like to make a few comments. In Theophilus' list, I would change #2 from "The Divine Liturgy" to "The life-giving Sacraments". While the Divine liturgy may mean the Eu…

According to Biblical accounts and Biblical scholars, Elijah lived in the 9th century BC. The common belief is that King Ahab reigned for 22 years starting somewhere between 869-874 BC. The Punic wars occurred 500 years after the Biblical account of…

I have a story from dental school. Apparently I rubbed the professor in charge of my group the wrong way. It's strange since I never said anything to anybody while in school. I only wanted to finish and get a diploma. But this professor seemed to wa…

Thank you Venado, Your story is inspiring and I hope one day I can meet you and shake your hand. To the craddle Coptic Orthodox here (myself included), learn the simple lesson. Things we take for granted, like the praying the Agpeya as a family, …

Good point Mina, To complicate things even more, most "paralexes" (or is the plural paralexi?), have two tunes. So in your examples: Apekran (Long first tune, long paralex tune for a few stanzas and simpler paralex tune starting with Amoini sotem) …

If we take it a step farther, one will notice that of all the female transvestite monastic saints (there's about 20), none of them were ordained priest. Even St Thacla, who accompanied St Paul, and ministered side by side with him, "baptized" in fir…

It is from Leviticus 20:2. I found this explanation online "Molech in the Old Testament was an idol image; the god of the Ammonites. Parents would sacrifice their children to this god and watch without showing emotion or care. A fire was lit inside …

Ramez, do you have any idea how jealous I am that you can translate Greek text? Even Google translate couldn't do it. Here's Google's version: MEETING OF THE NEW Beatitude Patriarch of the Coptic The Beatitude the Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria …

It is a book (more accurately a lectionary) of responses (Gospel responses, aspasmoses and conclusion canons). It is quite large. Most of the responses are not translated into Arabic at all. Most of the Coptic does not conform to current standards. …

St Mark COC Jersey City's new book has everything you're looking for (and more). Technically, Afjoust `nje Vnou] in the Tartib al-baia was said for Vespers on the second week of Kiahk. There are other conclusion canons for Kiahk (including that wee…

Yes. I don't think there are any non-religious songs or works from Copts in Arabic in any significant amount. There may be one or two people who dabble in new productions but this is the exception and nothing is published (as far as I know). Origina…

No Servos, you question is a very good question. Because the Coptic language and culture has been subsumed by the Arabic culture, except in the religious domain, it ceased to exist hundreds of years ago. Some cultures deal with a foreign sovereignt…
