If you read arabic, you may log onto the Egyptian newspaper website: Al-Ahram. Here is a linK: http://www.ahram.org.eg/

Now you are making me feel guilty by teasing you.

The Easter Egg Hunt, isn't that part of the Easter Bunny.

Sasi, I hope you do not take this comment as a full-frontal attack. I mean it only in a fraternal ribbing fashion. Would you be carrying out the same thought process for the Easter Bunny? I have a feeling you are going to come hunting for me now…

I will add one more thought. Be very careful about criticizing our clergy. Do not let personal emotions go beyond any boundary which may be a cause or precedence by which outsiders can attack the Church. Remember: 1. The flagrant attack by Sada…

Zoxsasi, Sadly, I am not fully along with the hypothesis that this is a Muslim. The level of evil that is within this concerted effort has the flavor of an internal betrayal--a 'Judas'. The details that are mentioned identify someone who has a ve…

His Holiness, as a real symbol of the Coptic Orthodox Church, and Father to the Fathers of the Church and Its Faithful, is under attack in a multi-faceted attack. Examples: 1. Max Michel, the anti-christ, usurper, and former seminarian under the t…

Godlovesme, I do not know if you navigated deeper, but: I went to Contact us, then priests, then click Fr. Athanasius, then there is a form e-mail that you may use to make contact with him. I hope this link takes you through those steps. http://…

Hez, I will send you a different reply by PM.

I do not recall in my life having ever believed in Santa. I do not recall my parents ever presenting him to us in any form in our childhood. I guess we turned out okay. I just don't think Santa is the issue.
-
Hez, Idols are a veiled presence of Satan. They are Satan's emblems and images. They are part of his methodology to disuade the faithful. Idols come in different forms--sometimes the 'almighty dollar' (in the USA) and in the UK 'the almighty pou…

I understand your point of view. I tend to look at things with a corporate level at times. Basically, how to best expend resources.
-
I've been told I look like a monkey. I've been told I act like a baboon. Hairy like an ape. I must be the missing link.

Zoxsasi, We have a limited resource to doing things. You can think of as a small shop. We cannot taken huge tasks that a multi-chain department store (at this point). We should take care of our own affairs to the best, provide a good product, a …

Agree with Fr. Peter for the 1,000,000th time. I should just sign Fr. Peter's posts with him, because he expresses my thoughts even before I have a chance to say them. Fr. Peter, please just add my name to all of your posts. Sign it: Fr. Peter a…

At the risk of sounding nasty, I will give you two examples, where we in the Coptic Church "persecute" our own. 1. In my parish some Eritreans (foreigners by ancestry, family by faith) come maybe once a month to worship. No one talks to them. No…

The greatest sin of the Latin Church is the allowance and the excuse for the Protestant Sects to develop. Fr. Peter hits it on the head over and over. We, as Orthodox, are not doing our jobs. We are not being Christian enough. We do not show or …
-
I agree wholeheartedly with Fr. Peter in both of his posts. We WE WEEE are not doing our jobs and our proper witness. We have not done enough, and instead of being steadfast we adopt the same flawed systems.

"What good is faith without works"? One of my favorite verses from the Epistle of St. James. It is the only verse I learned during my time in Catholic Schools growing up. I believe the Christian acts and works, along with Christian zeal, and vi…

I would recommend sending an e-mail to the Very Rev. Fr. Athanasius Farag of St. Antonious & St. Mina Coptic Orthodox Church in East Rutherford, NJ. Their website: http://www.stantoniousstmina.org/

User00, My comments are purely generalizations...no doubt. However, they are based on the majority and they are based on observation. If you would like me to use the statement 'the majority of the youth' to make you happy, I will do so, but I do …

I will answer your question with a question: Who will get the grade--you or your friend? How would you split the grade?

Ophadece, The pronunciation was not the issue that I was making. It had to do with poetic metre.
-
I would rather know God in my pain and sorrow, than be free from such tribulations and distant from God. A tear came to my eye when I read this sentence. It is so true. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord. One of my favorite {…

I do Zoxsasi. I pray fervently. I pray dearly. I also contribute what I can towards alleviating their suffering. I will also add that the contributions I do make for that form is specifically related to Christians. I will not contribute to orga…

I believe that the use of different titles: Apa, Ava, pi-agios, etc. relate to poetic metre relative to the given hymn and within the context of the rhyming scheme.

Who would know better than Mina-gir? He is the Mina.

Not only that, but our own youth do not care. They are being assimilated into the Western nonsense. I have discussions with them at times, and I am amazed by their adoption of the most idiotic thoughts. They emulate the dingbats around them.
-
Which persecutions do you mean? ...the ones carried out by Christians on Christians, or ...Muslim on Christian, or ...secular Government on Christians, or I think you will need a whole server for that. Zoxsasi, I keep telling you: The WEST does…

The Matins Raising of the Incense begins the Invocation to the Angels and the Heavenly Hosts. The "red carpet" is rolled out for Emmanuel to come. The intermission [a quasi junction between] between the start of the Presentation of the Lamb and th…
