Either that, or give other options. Maybe.

You skew the results by setting a limited set of answers. There are other possibilities.

Ioannes, I read the book in hardcover. I believe it is a wonderful guide for the average layman in seeing a nice straightforward and logical succession of ideas to countering the Protestantism. I liked the introduction. I will give some comments…

Mabsoota, Couple of more questions: 1. Why did you choose affiliation with the COC and not the BOC, being that you are British? I know that you mentioned you like the culture, but what compels you to the Eastern expression of the COC? 2. I was…

Certainly, artists and writers take poetic license. It would not be my cup of tea.

I apologize. Fr. Peter had already answered the question. I guess my humor can be annoying. Sorry.

I don't know if the devil has long nails, but I know he wears PRADA.

Minagir, You have to get on the tech. bandwagon and go CD.

Mabsoota, You did not mention if you are of Egyptian ancestry or are you a Brit?

There are several reasons that he has mentioned, that are from different angles: 1. The simple answer: 'We have beautiful Liturgies of our own that encompass so many aspects.' [paraphrase] 2. Tradition: The movements of the Ethiopian Liturgy a…

Mabsoota, I was talking about Coptic priests utilizing liturgies outside of the three mentioned. There was an English translation of the 14 Ethiopian Liturgies from the 50's that gained into popular presence. One liturgy especially, the one litur…

His Holiness, has put forward a Papal edict that no one is to use or carry out any Liturgies within the COC (excepting the British and French) for using anything other than the three Divine Liturgies ascribed to: St. Mark/St. Cyril, St. Gregory of …

The Armenians, generally, do not celebrate any Feast Days during the middle of the week. They tend to have Badarak only on Sunday. They have an unwritten modern rule that if the Feast Day comes in the middle of the week. They carry it over to the…

Simple: Start cleaning from the attic and work your way to the basement; both figuratively and absolutely. The question is: Does one want to abandon laziness?

JustinWilliams, Ok, let's go over some statistics: There are 3 or 4 Presidents of Egypt since the military coup of 1954. Sometimes Mohammad Naguib is mentioned, sometimes not. Nasser President until heart attack. Sadat President until assasinat…

You are kidding. I hope you are not even remotely serious. There are no Presidential Elections in Egypt. Mubarak will win with 99% of the vote. There are no Presidential Elections in Egypt. Mubarak will win with 99% of the vote. No President i…

I know there are a good number of Armenian Clergy that carry out similar efforts, however, they are essentially forbidden from allowing any of the vernacular into the Badarak. There was an encyclical from H.H. Karekin II, relative to the time of hi…

I think I can guess about the Armenians: they have a great attachment to the Armenian language. The Badarak (the Divine Liturgy) has to be in Classical Armenian. The Armenian Alphabet is venerated. It is on icons, mugs, paintings, tiles, gold me…

I was just curious as to the interest. You may get all of the tapes (i do not know if they are available on CD or mp3) at St. Mary & St. Antonious Coptic Orthodox Church, Queens, NY. I believe Fr. Samuel of the Archangel Michael & St. Mina…

Actually, I was not trying to be profound. I'm staying out of this discussion. I was just being funny.

Why is it that the aliens only speak English in Science Fiction movies?

Why are you so interested in him, specifically?

I was being funny. But, actually that is good to know. I will put it into my brain for future reference.

The Sacramental sequence for the Apostles was not the same as for us. For example, they received Baptism and the Holy Eucharist, and later on they received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Day. You should not be looking at it by chronology but by the …

Where is the church? ...in St. Augustine, Florida?

The reason we need God, is that every fiber of our existence requires His Presence. He is Life, in all regards.

It was nice to read the write-up. As an observation: When I look at the British Orthodox website, I see how His Eminence looks to the people around him with fatherly eyes, and the people (lay and cleric) look back with glowing eyes towards their f…

How can it be a continent when it is an island? I think, like Pluto having been removed as a planet-label, Australia should be removed as a continent.

I know Bp Suriel. Does that count? I also put shrimp on the barbie. I have as part of my repertoire an Ausie accent. I also saw Graeme Lloyd pitch for the New York Yankees. Alas, I lack an Australian passport. I have never visited Australia,…

The same God that created your dad, is the same One that is with your dad at every moment. Surely goodness and mercy are with your father--always. Greet your father with smiles as he prepares for this surgery. Encourage him with good thoughts, an…
