If i had my way, tasbeha would go on from 7pm until 2am at least.... we would say all the big lahns fully... all of Tenen all of tigalilea on Wednesdays.... although that would put me on the hitlist of all peopl in the church lol
Ok fair point Mina, the Sacraments occur through the power of the Holy Spirit, through the priest.... meaning that the priest as an "intermediate" has no effect on the Sacraments' validity, except that he has to be there?

Yeah, again its because of people's lack of appreciation of alhan. If people appreciated them more, then they would love to hear them.... but as it stands all they're interested in is when the fasting will end :P

lol Shoubra effect indeed. I'm sure my familly have experienced more (I know for a fact a BIG one was involved with St. Abu Seifen), I heard my mum mention going to St. Abu Seifen's Convent in Old Cairo, I asked why, and it was as if SHUTTERS had cl…
And im up for that Vas... I'll do tasbeha with you in Stevanage, or come to Margate for Bright Saturday - we can say Agios Athanatos Nai Nan 12 times if you want, 3 in Coptic, 3 in Arabic, 3 in English and 3 in French ;D

Not only a deacon can make it, a priest can. And in Egypt, they have the "forash" or servant/workers in the Church who make them... So it can be any male... as for the reason... I'll find out and post back.

Instructions for making Orban:
1) Get a bowl and fill with flour.
2) Get a cup of warm water, and add yeast (need a correct temperature, or the enzymes will denature)
3) Add a small amount of cold water to the flour (make sure its not too much, or …
OK copt andrew, it obviously depends on where you are... some countries allow preaching and other don't e.g. Saudi Arabia is a big no-no preach zone. I don't think that it matters personally - the Church hasn't decided on some decision with the gove…
Dudes my hymn knowledge is nothing compared to Matt and Mina and Vas and Tony.... you should all be muallemin. But the one thing I cannot endure being cut short is tasbeha!!! It should run all night long, we should say Tenen, and Semoti and Evol Hit…
A certain priest I know was celebrating the Holy Liturgy in a certain place in the UK, about 10 years ago. He came to the end of the Mass, when the Holy Utensils are washed, and St. Mary HERSELF was clearly evident on the plate (seneya), despite the…
Oh man, all over the place we are having time cuts. Especially on a feast day like the Nativity. You should have seen the looks some people gave me when I did the long Psalm Singari... :P.... it was like abouna doing the Gospel prayer, and I launch …
You have a point clay. We give the sacrament to babies, by decision of their parents... so are you saying that if a mentally ill adult could not consciously make the decision of having Communion, their family should make that decision for them?

Personally I don't really like Fa Nitenh but it will go up on the list. Ethve Tianastasis is awesome and I love Pavlos :) Panoti Panoti is already up there. Ill put "Annual Psalm" up there, while Epchois Avgos ni is Singari (already up there). Apin…
Confess my dear brother, and apologise to him - you must take responsibility for your actions.

Of course, I don't think there should be anything to hinder a person who is mentally ill from partaking in the Holy Communion (providing he is baptised, believes, fasts etc.), but I think that person must be consciously aware that they are partaking…
lol, well the fact that your username was LondonCopt, and that you signed off as Matthew in one of your posts, and the Croydon remark ::) :P Tactful. ;)
