Jimmy,
Yea. Pluto may no longer be a planet but it is still a Disney dog.
I belong to Jesus,
That's quite a long link. Did you type all of that? The link is bigger than the wings on that plane in the picture, and it's not even bent like the w…
I think this is a Kumbaya moment.
As for TITL, we are all your friends. Don't be disheartened by Minagir, he's grumpy because he has exams. A cup of tea and some dry Orban and he'll be back to himself again.
I have exams also but I don't get gru…
JY,
You are purely correct. I think TITL was looking to open a small dialogue or at least pierce with some words that may crack through this terrible sinful curse in his life.
TITL,
If you are trying to reach out to this person either in loving manner for his penance or for the matter of supplication towards the shutting down of his blog, I would think that your e-mail name already sets an aggressive tone. I do not thin…
TITL,
Etchmiadzin is a city and a place. It means "the Only-Begotten descended [here]".
According to Armenian Tradition, St. Gregory the Illuminator (in Armenian--Loosavoritch; also the same St. Gregory the Armenian mentioned in the Coptic Diptyc…
TITL,
In order to prove my point, I just took bread rolls that were in the freezer from August, dabbed them with water, wrapped in paper towel and nuked in the microwave, and I had them with my fish sticks.
I have difficulty throwing out bread or …
Crazy4Christ1,
The blessings I have are relative to being diligent about every speck that I took care of in the House of God. When I mean speck, I mean down to that exact detail. Everything in the House of God is holy, because He is Holy. His Sa…
TITL,
The person you identify with the purple on his sleeves that you ask in the picture is Catholicos Aram I of the House of Cilicia. He is the one facilitated the negotiations and settlements between the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Ethiopian …
If it's not moldy, you can dab it with some water wrap it lightly in a paper towel and nuke it in the microwave. It softens up and is as good as Sunday.
His Grace, Bishop Makarious that you speak of, is actually a bishop installed in the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church relative to his consecration as bishop. When the protocol that established the Eritrean Orthodox Church was adopted and a …
I'm inspired to learn Austrian just so I can speak with the same fervor. The inflection in the voice and the syllabelization are enough to make a statement and argument.
The exuberance of the American experience.
You are right, I would not like it. But then again, who am I that my opinion matters in such issues. I take care of my own little soul that is still in diapers looking to grow in spiritual maturity so th…
CIA is not an epsaltos--anymore.
I like calling him CIA, it has a sense of mystique to it. Ibo sounds like a character from the Star Wars movies.
Getting back to the serious. Fr. Peter's point is very strong, as usual. I think this is where Oph…
Actually, I remembered as I was driving that about 15 years ago, I attended the Nativity at a parish, and they did the Vespers service, closed the curtain, and in minutes opened the curtain and started Matins for the Feast Liturgy. It was a bit irr…
JY,
Very interesting interpretation in pragmatism. I often find that Church traditions, or developing traditions, have a two prong aspect: spiritual and practical.
I can see the logic in the development of events relative to what you wrote.
JY,
He is a Master Cantor and in the most sensitive place. These "lead deacons" (of vast majority) are following an improper precedence and the same, stick the microphone down your throat (+/- catsup).
1. His example and appearance are important…
Some have estimated the number at 3.5 million. The German government is trying to help them leave, legally and constitutionally, after having brought them there for cheap labor, but the Turks do not want to leave.
The Turks are allowing for chur…
You are quite correct Hos Erof. I apologize.
I take back what I said [in the way that I said it]. The practice is different from the listed rites.
Vespers is generally not done--though. Just like the midnight praises are generally not done prio…
I take it some people point to me people. So I will take the volley.
Balados,
You are correct in saying that CIA has helped the church with a lot of things, but in a very undisciplined way he has hurt the church in tremendous waves that will carr…
No Vespers in Nativity and Theophany. They are a High Order Lord's Feast. Their "preparation" is along the ways of the Paramoni. They are the only Feast Days with this type of order.
Bright Saturday Liturgy in a sense is the same concept of the …
Well, I just thought that having created the term C.I.A. would be distinct for him. Just make sure I get credit for this as it spreads through North America. It's also better than calling him F.B.I.
I was also the progenitor of the hybrid Arabic/…
