Zoxasi, I think you brought up 2 different issues here: competence and tolerance. They are inter-related but let's address them separately. Regarding competence, I think it would be foolish to expect an arbitrary level of Coptic competence in order…

[quote author=TITL link=topic=11187.msg136077#msg136077 date=1302821290] I'm making my own forum. And in case anyone was wondering, no one from here is invited. [/quote] TITL, what are you talking about. I got your back. Can't you hear me singin…

Fair enough, Fr Peter, I wanted to see TITL's reaction anyway. And to set the record clear I am American and Vietnam doesn't count.

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11187.msg136054#msg136054 date=1302811060] As a native English speaker I have to say that the phrase Resurrection Re-enactment sounds very clumsy to my ears and is not form of language I would normally use. I w…

Here is the text for Apenchois A Pen[oic Iycouc Pi`,rictoc@ kata `vry] `mpai`ehoou@ afse `eqoun `eIeroucalym@ aftalyout `eou`e`w. This is what Ibrahim Ayad recorded. Keep in mind the sentence is grammatical incorrect. There's too many verb tenses. …

[quote author=TITL link=topic=11241.msg135979#msg135979 date=1302728665] What are you trying to prove? :P I'm saying if you have an excuse for occasional skipping, then you can't say "since we had an excuse once, we're allowed to give excuses for e…

So are you saying an event that calls on the Holy Spirit should be called a remembrance and an event that does not call on the Holy Spirit should be called an enactment?

Church historians? What's that? The last Coptic historian was Iris Habib El-Masri. Good luck finding one. Let me see if I can help. You are correct in your definition of the Essense. We need to add a little to your definition. According to some Je…

You beat me to it Mina. I would like to add that when Jesus tells us "Take eat, this is my body", the second half of his statement is "Do this in remembrance of me". The Last Supper/First Eucharist is a living, eternal remembrance that is "given fo…

TITL, I agree that there is a difference between skipping a hymn occasionally and skippin hymns and rushing every time. But in the big picture, if there is a valid, spiritual reason to skip hymns occasionally, then there could be a valid, spiritual …

[quote author=TITL link=topic=11241.msg135945#msg135945 date=1302718015] No, I'm kidding. You did make a valid point, but your statement is only half true. If churches are skipping hymns and rushing through the Liturgy then there is something wrong-…

Mina, imikhail. I'm still confused here. Please clarify. [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11187.msg135119#msg135119 date=1301859065] Just to make things more clear. The words "commemorate" and "remembrance" are reserved for reliving the minutes of…

TITL, I've argued that to Abouna before. He told me "I can not make the sermon shorter or asks any other priest to rush the liturgy." It's obvious from this statement that Abouna's preference is always a sermon, bible-based spiritual experience is t…

So if I want to do a search on "Prayer of Azariah", I should do the following. 1. Go to www.google.com/books 2. Go to the search bar. 3. Write: "Prayer of Azariah" inauthor:"St. Alexander" | inauthor:"St. Athanasius" | inauthor:"Clement" | inauth…

I have a follow up question. No one here has mentioned anything about preference. In my church, we never say Meghalo because the priests simply don't like it. They think it is unnecessary. They have an obligation to the entire congregation to make s…

Opadece, I know you're going to love this because it suggests and corroborates what you've been saying about GB education. I've read in some new Bohairic teaching books that 1000 has a single line below, 10000 has a double line and 100000 is has 3 …
-
I believe 2000 is written with two lines under the Coptic letter "B". So it would be bib with 2 lines under the first "b" and 1 line above the "i" and "b". Unfortuneately, CS fonts can't do. And I don't even know how to write a double line undernea…

You can say Students of 2012. It's close to Class of 2012. But the request was for Class of 2012. And you're right cboui does mean apprentice or disciple. I was thinking of another Coptic word. My mistake. Keep in mind if you want to say Students of…
-
nima;ytys means students only, not classes. nicbwou means teachings, not class. Or do you mean change niremanazyb to nima;ytys? Both mean students. So it wouldn't matter. But you can't say either as a translation of "class". I think I have 8 Boha…

There are multiple ways to say "Class of 2012." You could use the Greek word cimpocion which is found in Mark 6:39 which means group. So "Class of 2012" could be translated as Picimpocion `nte pi`cnau so nem myt `cnau. However, this literally tran…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11144.msg135403#msg135403 date=1302130389] I think it is completely wrong to suggest that the spiritual tradition of the Church is the same as language. It manifestly isn't.[/quote] It is apparent that you don't…

4:30? Says you. In our church is 6:00 and sometimes 7:00pm

Fr Peter, I don't know if the British Orthodox has the same fastig practice as the Coptic Church does. Excuse my ignorance. But if it does, what you do if all the members of you parish told you that fasting 250 days is too hard? They want to fast f…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11144.msg135168#msg135168 date=1301908208] In 100 years should a congregation of Orthodox Christians be part of the local community and culture, enriching it with the Orthodox (rather than social) culture of its…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11113.msg135377#msg135377 date=1302097231] That's how it is pronounced in England. [/quote] Really? You said Wuster. Here in New England, it's pronounced without any "r"s: "Wustah" Is that how it is in England? …
-
Fr Peter, Jeremy, You're both wrong. In New England, it's pronounced Wustah. Jeremy, It's good to know we were really saying the same thing all along. And like other threads, I would respond to to your post while answering someone else's questions…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11113.msg135297#msg135297 date=1302028791] I do not think we can definitively say OB pronounciation is /awka/ Yes we can. Because all the manuscripts (before Aryan's invention) with Arabic transliteration of the wo…
