Ioannes, Dude, I sent you my e-mail. I made popcorn, and I am all set to listen to the thrashing. Send it to me. I need a good laugh.

Zoxsasi, You can talk about it until you are blue in the face, and it will not achieve anything. No body cares, and you are going to be at odds with the Kumbaya Generation. You will drive yourself crazy, banging your head against the wall. I agr…

No. I've been saying that 20 million times, and no one listens. The question then comes: "Why are the youth without respect?" "Why do they not care about the House of God?" and the answer is: because you let them get that way. It is because t…

In my humble, yet bold opinion, YES.
-
Just as a joke Ioannes, you did submit. You said you were married.

I believe in the exact form, and in theological defense, it was St. Cyril the Great (the Pillar of Faith). Nestorius, the heretic, had called her the Christotokos.

Does anyone remember Palm Sunday?

Zoxsasi, I would have done what you did to the letter. The only difference is, depending on my relation to said monk, whether he was just visiting or whether he was a permanent priest, would be to approach him after the Liturgy and politely make …

Minagir, Harsh but funny. You gave them a dose of humility. Your solution is very sharp and clear-cut.

Dimyan, Become a priest. It's the greatest vocation. Nothing better. You will have to be everything, but your greatest reward and achievement will be that you are a father.

Tishori, Your parish is a minority, just a blip on the map. Unfortunately, it is not a normal practice in the vast majority of parishes. I think I will set up a poll on the site to see what the trend is.

...with a purpose.

I am curious if the same group would be endorsing burnings of the Bible that are non-King James Version?
-
I would also say that our Eritrean brothers and sisters need to be a little forceful towards their Coptic brethren. There was an established protocol for which the Holy Synod of both Churches identify the Litany for the fathers to be inclusive of P…

It's actually an oddity relative to the Primacy of Peter, that the Prime Cathedral for the Roman See is St. John Lateran, and that the Bishop of Rome assumes that Cathedral first before he accepts St. Peter's Basilica. By itself, in the self same R…
-
It is also said by several historians, that the first Basilica (currently known as St. Peter's Basilica) was given the name originally as Sts. Peter and Paul. Moreover, St. John Lateran, the Basilica, is the Cathedral Church of the Bishop of Rome, …

The Church of Antioch is attributed to St. Peter. The Patriarchs of Antioch identify themselves as the successors to St. Peter. Although, St. Paul was on the road to Damascus to go persecute the Christians there, and whereupon he was given a revel…

Lightening, Our Master is beyond description in His advocacy on our behalf. Yet, it is nice to have one of his ambassadors as a friend, as a guide, a mentor, and example, to be able to reach out to the Master.

Were there any specific outside observors?...Catholic...politicians, etc.

I just received my latest issue of "Coptic Church Review" (Printed: East Rutherford, NJ; Spring/Summer 2010, Vol 31, Number 1), there was an article on p. 8-17, entitled: On the Coptic Church, by H.H. Pope Shenouda III. It is transcription of lec…

Go with St. Mark, his story strikes at you in every corner of your being.

I thought Bp. David was going to attend.
-
Zoxsasi, Yes.
-
Praying the Agbeya is a good help. It helps you with words and emotions, especially when reading the Psalms portions to allow you to meditate on your own issues and be able to reflect them to God.
-
I do not think it is a good idea.
-
Father Peter, I hope you feel better. Even with the flu, your posts are wonderful. Have you tried saline nasal spray? I find it works well to eradicate the virus. Your post puts things nice and clear. There are no ambiguities. I would just li…
-
I like it Father--straight to the point.
-
Ioannes, Out of curiosity, because I cannot make out your picture too well on my screen, is that Coptic or Amharic writing? I've been meaning to ask you for a while. [Actually I put this in the wrong thread. I meant to put it in the one on Facia…
-
Bonaventure, I believe that my place as a Coptic Orthodox Christian and Deacon is to pray for this matter. One may banter the issue all over the place, but the resolution does rest in the hierarchs. It is the sake of the people that they follow t…

I will send you a PM with my e-mail. I am interested to hear the dialogue.
