I must thank you. God bless you

You should see your FOC urgently because none of us can easily see our own hearts, and to think that we do not need to see our FOC is a sign that in fact we definitely do. We don't all have knowledge, and if even our bishops often resort to their o…

Dear Rony, God bless you. Yes, this is the payment confirmation. I will be emailing all new students over the weekend, and then as people continue to register. Father Peter

I have also urged you to speak to your spiritual father. Please do so ad a matter of urgency. God bless you.

There were 16 who said they were ready to start. Is this still the case? I only have 5 students at the moment. I am happy to teach just 5 but I would rather teach a larger class. If there are only 5 students from the 2-4 million Copts outside Egypt…

Apart from things like it is the true Church etc etc, I like the diversity of cultures, rites and traditions which are all part of a unity of faith.

If the Church spoke no English there would be very, very few converts in the West. The Bible and the Church and History are very clear indeed about the need for the Gospel and the worship of the Church to be generally comprehensible. That does not …

Hi Payment is listed in British pounds, but Paypal will accept all Western currencies and do a conversion. Perhaps you might kindly say something like.. The London School of Orthodox Christian Studies is an exciting new opportunity to seriously s…

LookingInDesire, you were 5th out of 5 registered students so far. Let me encourage others of you, who suggested that you were ready to start a course, to register for this first presentation. I do need some indication that people actually want to …

The reading material will be available online, either on other sites to which links will be provided or within the course website itself. Since the aim is to have these courses available to people everywhere it seems best to make sure that the read…

It is possible to be connected to the Church in Egypt without being Egyptian. The Church of Estonia or Finland is part of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople but neither are Greek at all. Likewise the Church of Ethiopia until recently, and t…

Why will the Church crumble if people worship in English? That doesn't make any sense.
-
There isn't a cutoff date. But if people are able to register as soon as possible for this first course then it will give me a clear indication of how many people I will be working with, and whether there is a future for further course development.

Thanks Rony and others. I have fixed the link now. I was out for a little while and haven't set up a web editor and ftp client on my phone yet.
-
Thanks for that info. It's £125 for UK students and £135 for International students. Father Peter

Sorry. I am away from my desk for a moment. Use the Registration link at the top if the page. Ill fix it as soon as I get in. Thanks
-
If you know of others in your congregation who might be interested in this course then do please invite them to register. Nor should this course, or any of the courses be thought to be for deacons only, or males only. This is an ideal opportunity f…

The modules will be created so that students can proceed entirely at their own pace. If students finish sooner or later than others that doesn't matter at all. Indeed once the first module, which it seems will be on Christology, begins, other studen…

How long does the original community remain the original community when it moves to another country. There are no longer Greek congregations in Italy for instance. But there were in the first century. There are no longer Latin speaking communities i…

If a British Orthodox Church was established in Finland it would naturally use Finnish. Why would it use English? The Church should use the language of the place where it is - the generally speaking. I would not really think of establishing a church…
-
Christology is at the heart of every subject we could consider, and properly understood it must be spiritual and practical. If we study this together then I will try to ensure that at each section of the module we consider why it is of importance …
-
If you are pretty much committed to trying one module in this series then please visit the other Poll in this section and indicate which module you would prefer, and PM me with the title of any other module you might really want which I have not lis…

Well I dont want to argue with you so ill leave it there
-
But have you studied any of the Fathers on this subject? If a person lived a sinless life it would not put them right with God. We are all born separated from God. We are reborn in baptism so that we are united to the renewed and restored humanity …

Our nature is not corrupt when we are born. Without wishing to cause offense, what we think does not matter, the Fathers are very clear. Turn to St Cyril and St Severus for their teaching on these things. We are mortal because all created beings a…
-
The Fathers teach that the Virgin Mary felt the real birth, but was spared the pain which came by the curse. I would say that they mean by this that she had an easy birth, and that she felt no pain but she did feel the natural process of giving birt…
-
The Fathers are explicit that out nature is not sinful. We are born mortal not sinful. This is the teaching of the Fathers. We become sinners, but we are born under the curse, as was our Lord. If he was not born under the curse then He could not fr…

ReturnToOrthodoxy, I have uploaded another podcast here.. http://orthodoxfaith.podbean.com/2012/02/14/the-orthodox-christology-of-st-severus/ It is on the Orthodox Christology of St Severus. I hope that you might enjoy it.

I have posted a new podcast here... http://orthodoxfaith.podbean.com/2012/02/14/the-orthodox-christology-of-st-severus/ This is an indication of the sort of audio content I will be providing for the module on Christology. There will be about 10 ho…

Christ took our own nature, under the curse, and felt both pain and suffering.
