Suit and tie--always (with cufflinks).

Eventhough it is the Feast of the Nativity, the Liturgy is a celebration of the Crucifixion, Death, and Resurrection of Our Lord.

I will be going to church, and enjoy the Liturgy.

John, How true your words are. Thank you for the reminder of the Innocents of Bethlehem.
-
Mozes, My feelings exactly. I will give you a reason: they don't care. Why? Because, the Coptics are not "pretty" enough for them, either as a people or an issue.

I'm not saying I wish anyone harm. I was just saying that it may be a deterent to this loitering.

Geo, I think I have polka dots on my heart.

Seems like the page was taken down. Would a blue suit with a red tie be okay? What if it was a charcoal grey suit? Would that be too dark?

Maybe these threats will help keep the belligerent youths, who hang outside the church while the services are being conducted, to disperse or they will be a target. You know, the ones that are smoking, being loud, playing the Arabic music, with the…

What difference does it make? A lot of women are wearing black to look slim. BTW, at least from my male perspective, it doesn't help. It looks depressing to see black at baptisms, feasts, weddings, funerals, etc. I do not think a statement will …

Suit and tie is usual for me for any liturgy, any vespers, any feast, etc.

Suit and tie as usual.

A priest is not allowed to celebrate the Liturgy alone. It is beyond rare to be granted that type of situation. I have never heard it to be granted, although theoretically possible. If you read Fr. Tadros Malaty's book: Church--House of God. Th…

I am just awestruck by this man of God. All of the background music is extremely annoying. I'm hoping for another seven parts minus the terrible music.

Anba Bola, I just watched part 2, and he mentions that he had affinity for the Coptic Church because it had "very little, if any blood on its hands". He voiced a disappointment and disdain for "the western hierarchical systems" and all of the viol…

Fr. Lazarus fascinates me. I started watching the series. The Rock bass guitar intro was completely out of context relative to the calm that is pervaded in this man. Actually, I thought it was tacky. There are so many beautiful musical interlude…

Cyril, I don't know how to answer you. I wish I knew. The Lord is the One and Only Recourse we have.

Be polite, be civil, be christian. Do not be rude. You do not know what fire power is behind them.

It will be even more difficult when you come to the Western World. It will be assumed that you are seeking out a woman for residency purposes. Get married in Egypt before you travel.

D.C., Why?

TITL, I guess you had to be there. What can I say? Although, I did leave out some detail. I am sorry to have not satiated your desire for humor for the day. I will try for better, tomorrow.

My first request to the new Admin, when do I get my stars like everyone else? I will be happy with just one. I don't need 50 like Mabsoota [just a joke my British friend].

Emad, God Blesses--always. Ophadece has a great spirit and zeal for the delicacies of the Coptic Language. I'm sure he would be more than willing to give input. Ophadece, Your welcome...I just volunteered you.

Ophadece, I was thinking the same thing, but I was trying to be diplomatic [for once].

Emad, I think that the things you mentioned in your post on this thread help in clearing some of the confusion, but it also points to major weaknesses in the presentation of the website. I think the Logo, being the first presentation to your websi…

I'm usually of a suspicious thought about things. I find that when things are not fully disclosed, I am skeptical that there is a hidden agenda or for that matter a nefarious intent. Nothing is simple anymore. The innocence of childhood is over. …

Actually, one of the funnier scenarios that I encountered was at a parish, and a bishop was attending that day. He was making remarks to the parish in English and wanted Abouna to translate into Arabic. The priest kept repeating everything that th…

Thanks Geo. I'm glad someone's got my back and not stabbing it.

With all do respect and with full regard my buddy, Cyril, the battery is not consumed. [Just chemically speaking] [That is a joke--spud]

You're the MAN. Or in the Hood: U da man.
