It's everybody. Everybody... identifies those who champion these immoral causes. Everybody who lay silent and allowed it to happen. Everybody... is anyone that is desensitized to this immorality. Penalties: the destruction of the moral fiber of…

That's what people want, that's what people get. Don't complain when you have to deal with the penalties.

CIA, will be in the USA probably through July.

God = Good God is not destroying anyone's life.

The position of Master Cantor of the Cathedral of St. Mark is not by hereditary succession. It is purely at the discretion of the Patriarch; no different than in a given parish at the discretion of the given Priest.

All conciliatory gestures have been made by the Oriental. The monks of Mt. Athos exert their influence indirectly. Pope Shenouda visiting Mt. Athos would not accomplish anything. Not to mention that the Head of the Coptic Church should not be see…

The Imperial = the Byzantine Church through those eras. The Church gave sanction and participated in these genocides. A given general also had a dual role as a bishop. Some of the usurper Patriarchs carried out both roles. In other situations the…

No distilled product. Has to be naturally fermented. Red wine. Sweet. Not mixed with other fruits, i.e., cabernet, merlots, etc. In terms of brands in the USA that are commonly used: Manishewitz, Kedeem, King David.

If the blood of the righteous Abel cried out to God, then I think the blood of our martyrs cry out for an answer as to why they were slaughtered. I think it shows quite an Orthodoxy on the Oriental Family to be willing to forgive all of this martyr…

How would one pronounce the name? (phonetically)

Can I do the interview?

Pentecost is not only a Feast Day, but a Foundational Anniversary. It is the founding of the Church. The Church is defined as the: "Church Victorious" (the reposed) and the "Mission Church" (on earth).

If anyone uses this line, make sure you give credit to the man who loves the Great St. Mark.

Just a note to think about [I coined this saying]: There is an EVER in forEVER, and even an EVER in nEVER. Think about it. We pronounce these three words, but only God has a fullness in pronouncing any or all of them.

DZ, I have entered the region of the "rain" on the good and the challenging sides. I do not say "bad", I say: "challenging". What is the absolute first thing that you do in life? Answer: cry I think that in and of itself resonates as the as…

First of all, wish him well relative to his surgery that is coming at the end of the month. Question: What are the possibilities of doing on-line courses for chanting? [straight from Egypt/seminary] In essence: straight from the mouth. Thus, a…

Age of person? Prayer definitely...God's Hand is Mighty.

Blue/yellow or black/white are technically the best combinations. There are people who are color blind (different grades/shades/levels) that have difficulty picking up reds and greens. There are a good number of males (whether they realize it or n…

My Dear Father, The Lord is with you.

When you are a soldier, you don't have a choice as to where you will be deployed (for the most part). In crisis and war, the ability to voice a choice is muted completely.

They are upset because the US and Canadien forces are currently deployed in battle in a no-win situation with an ill-defined (actually undefined) mission. They are worried that you may die. They are probably worried that, despite the honor of se…

U1, I don't think we are in disagreement. I don't believe in the 'Sunday Christian' mentality at all.

U1, Great. OD, Excellent. My Dear Father, Great, Excellent, and Outstanding--as usual.

Father.

U1, We are called upon to be Christian everyday--agreed fully. There is a "special" aspect to Sunday (the Sabbath). Examples: 1. everyday is wonderful and open for enjoying our life, but we do have a "birthday anniversary" that is special relat…

Let's change the initial statement and see if it ushers the same responses: From: Statement 1-- "I'm a bit down & depressed about coptic hymns" To: Statement 2-- "I'm a bit down & depressed about deacons not doing anything of service in …

...Taking Christ and making Him the center of that activity, eg, 1. making sure to pray before & after meals 2. making a big deal about going to church (not to mean fuss but rather festive event). 3. taking flowers from the garden and bring…
