TITL, If you look at his blog, the organizing deacon specifically said he does not do it for any money. He only does it as missionary work. He has other videos and missionary stories about how he only wants to talk and poll people's belief in God.

The "A" before Pen[oic Iycouc Pi,rictoc in all hymns regardless of grammar is probably a byproduct of cantors who figured all mohayar verses should start with the "a" like the Lent Mohayar Pen[oic Iycouc Pi,rictoc ernycteuin... In the Lent mohayar, …

Mabsoota, thank you for your comments. Whether or not Michael Gaddis is a controversial author on a whole or just on the co-authored book on Chalcedon will need to be more scrutinized. I don't know since I haven't read his book on Chalcedon. The boo…

Fr Peter, please do not be upset at me. I do not believe in a poorly definable ideology. I am trying to apply an argument have I heard against Christianity so that we may have a proper answer when it is used against us. [quote author=Father Peter l…

Fr Peter, Again, thank you for your comments. I would love to spend time discussing this over coffee but I hate coffee. I'd rather discuss it openly for all others who are learking around here to quietly benefit. Maybe one day we can meet and have d…

Fr. Peter, thank you for your response. Please indulge me in a few follow up questions and comments. Please do not take my questions or comments as an interrogation of your mission in London or missionary work in general. I am only trying to find at…

TITL and all, I guess at a certain level, one can argue that the WWJD campaign has its scriptural basis in Philippians 2:5 "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" or in the ERV it is "In your life together, think the way Christ Jes…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12727.msg149565#msg149565 date=1325012467] It is also a fact that Britain, with our ancient Christian heritage, is a different place to the US. We have a Christian culture that is deserving of every effort at pr…

[quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=12727.msg149527#msg149527 date=1324920566] If the Church is the custodian of the faith, then surely it ought to correct any false teachings of Christ - amongst its own faithful and amongst those using our faith to sp…

Peter, I am not attacking you, I think the WWJD campaign is a little ridiculous. The Orthodox answer is not WWJD. If you think about it is a ridiculous Protestant invention that doesn't make sense. Jesus did not sin, so He didn't have to stop Himsel…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12653.msg149421#msg149421 date=1324544586] There can be reasons for selecting a bishop. But what are they? And why in any situation should the selection of a monk be passed over? [/quote] Cultural precedence. Th…

Ok, since you twisted my arm peter_saad. If you know Coptic, you will know that the Fraction for the Virgin Mary and the Angelic orders starts out "Behold, today on this table Emmanuel our God is present." Well the Coptic is heppe eu,y neman. The f…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12653.msg149359#msg149359 date=1324479920] There are in any cases other possibilities for the evasion of the letter of the canon. The Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate could remain a diocesan bishop …

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12653.msg149351#msg149351 date=1324472058] I think we need to get rid of all microphones, and see who really has the heart to serve after that exit of electronics. You will find the number of "deacons" that s…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12653.msg149349#msg149349 date=1324471157] Although Pope Kyrillos VI did not call them general bishops, I put general bishops in "quotations", because that is effectively what he did. You cannot say that ther…

Many cantors are blind, but not because of the reason you assumed (ie, they retain hymns faster than someone who isn't blind). I believe the real reason is that it is a socially historical practice that remains until today. In the Necropolis of one…
