BTW, anyone naive enough to think that these results weren't cooked up as a negotiated bargain with the junta?
-
Yes, the parallel is uncanny. We have Muslim rulers in Egypt and a Muslim ruler in the USA.

Anyone that made that kind of money has, without a doubt: 1. been in bed with nefarious elements; 2. compromised his ethics and morals; 3. made demented deals with some pretty evil people. I would say he is blatantly trying to protect his hide,…

Wow, what a surprise?! I would have never have guessed. I'm so glad that the MB is going to take care of us Coptics. The United States did such a wonderful job in helping set up the torture and daily destruction of our people. Obama, is practicall…

My suggestion: don't have this survey. Let the obvious speak as to why this is not appropriate.

Too much hope is being put into people that abide by a code of injustice and inequality. The entire Islamic system is based on this concept. Anyone ascribing a profession of Islam must abide by this code. How can any Christian put faith in a foll…

I believe Faith is the only route. I do believe in Civic responsibility. I do believe that a system that is in Egypt cannot change as long as its core is Islamic in any form. There is no wave from the Muslims of the country to remove the famous Art…

I don't support any Muslim regime, including Mubarak. I'm looking at chaos in Egypt, which is intentional. Mubarak was not my happy President of Egypt. I'm still waiting to meet this majority of "liberal minded" Muslims. If they are this mass maj…

Let me simplify things: 1. There are not going to be any elections...just an appearance of an election. 2. There will be no Coptic seats won...because Copts don't exist in Egypt. 3. There will be no change in regime...because the Government will…

In reply to your question: during Kiahk.

Without going into a lot of detail: his thought was that it was better that we administered the Church ourselves rather than the Government, until things were resolved.

I really doubt that there are any recordings in the sixties for Bp Samuel. Casette recorders and video cameras were not around. Very few in the diaspora had reel tape recorders available. Certainly, no one had movie cameras (predecessors to the v…

Hopefully this link works. Bp Samuel is on the left, His Holiness is on the right. http://www.coptic.net/pictures/Photo.PopeShenoudaIIIAndBishopSamuel.jpg

That's nice. Did he write the lyrics for Kumbaya?

A Protestant.

The Thrice Blessed, Bp Samuel celebrated liturgies in the 50's when he was a monk in Texas. He did not celebrate any Liturgies, relative to my understanding in the 1960's in New Jersey, either as a monk or later as a consecrated General Bishop for …

I will repeat: You have got to be kidding.

You've got to be kidding!

Amazing place! It is quite a bit better each time I go there. I take pictures without flash. I was allowed.

Yes, sometimes I use mneumonics to help me memorize things (verses from the Holy Bible, etc.)

During the papacy of Anba Yusab (20th century), there were Chore-episcopi(oi).

The A.S.K. Principle. A.sk and you shall receive; S.eek and you shall find; K.nock and it shall be opened unto you. I think it is pretty clear. Only a fool questions God. There are three types of atheists: 1. The arrogant, who thinks he is gr…

Chore-episcopos under the papacy of Pope Shenouda III, has been phased out. There no clergy with that rank in the Coptic Orthodox Church at present. The Syrian Orthodox Church (Jacobite) still utilize that rank.

TITL is referring to two priests that are serving at St. Mina Coptic Orthodox Church in Holmdel, NJ. She is not referring to Fr. Abraam Sleman of the Coptic Orthodox Church of St. Mark in Jersey City. There are a good number of priests in the Nort…

It has nothing to do with age or years of service. 15 years is not a benchmark. As an example: The reposed and blessed Very Rev Fr. & Dr. Gabriel Abdelsayed was elevated to Hegumen after being a presbyter for only five months. There are a lo…

His Anniversary is 14 November. No Coptic Patriarch has seen peace in his papacy.

Prayer can be incorporated into every moment, if one wishes. This can be from the simple to the complicated. Example: 1. The Jesus Prayer; may be utilized at any moment. There can be a rudimentary App to help one with such an endeavor. 2. Th…

The English of the "Egyptian Colloquial".

I was referring to the "Egyptian Colloquial": "Serving in the Altar".

For those who cannot spell the word ALTAR, should not be serving in the ALTAR.
