Sorry, wasn't impressed. Her voice is undeveloped, and not disciplined. Background music was amateur. The clips from Youtube had plagiarized portions from different Christ movies.
It is the usual Egyptian voice that sounds like it is having diff…
I don't know of any specifically within the exact location. The Metro (Subway) is right there. He can take a ride. I think it is three stops to Old Cairo (the stop is St. Geoge on the Metro line), and there are the ancient churches with daily serv…
I don't know what long stitch is, but have you thought of cross stitch. Maybe doing a pattern of the Coptic Crosses from the middle ages would be nice as a project, or evn a saint.
I believe that would swallow a heap of time.
How about learning s…
I generally let people find out for themselves. No one ever wants to listen anyway. Most people do not like to admit they are wrong.
There are consequences for all of our actions; some soon, others later, others for a lifetime, others in the af…
H.H. Pope Shenouda III, the greatest mind of the Coptic Orthodox Church, wrote a book: "Comparative Theology" and "The Jehovah Witnesses", both are available by pdf download. Do a search on the internet.
Fr. Matthias F. Wahba of the San Francisco…
If you are in the vicinity of your church, find out from the priest if there are any elderly that need rides or even visitation.
The elderly are desperate for anyone to reach out to them.
There are generally very few, if any, activities for the el…
smoking is bad for your health, but I'm not small. I mean, if I was a small bodied woman, then I think that would be dangerous. However, 5'9'' and I swim 40 mins each twice a week, so when I smoke it isn't so bad. I admit, it would be bad if I didn'…
The milk thing was just a joke. Relax. Don't be so sensitive.
Good luck.
If things work out, I can record a zaghroota and send it as an attachment.
(that's just another joke)
Questions relate to the flow of the situation. If you go in with a clipboard with questions, it is too rehearsed and opens the door for disaster.
Be yourself. Let the guy talk. Guys like to show off and talk about themselves. When he starts to …
I will add: make sure you order a large coffee. It will be more expensive. It identifies the potential suitors abilities to provide.
Remember: It is lent--no milk.
I think he is trying to impress you. He is interested. Are you interested? That's the question.
If not, then just start the friendship circle with other young ladies, and allow the intersecting circles to lead you
to getting to know others. Whe…
Obviously, he wants to get to know you. If you are interested go, if not--do not.
If you go, make sure he picks up the tab. At least that way you are not out anything.
You can wear a shirt that says: "Not taken", just in case.
Or you may go to…
Even St. Paul, the hermit, though he lived in hermitage received the blessing and experience of the visitation from St. Anthony--the Great. Even in the system of monachism, those who lived as hermits, would come to the communal celebration of the H…
I am just talking about their framework of dealing with this particular case. It is focal only to their religion.
If the same situation arose in the Coptic Church, it would follow a different algorithm and canonical system for dealing with it.
We …
At the same time, I'm curious as to what a priest gains by having his hand kissed
It reminds him of his responsibility, as a father. His duties for the caring of his flock. He remembers to maintain his purity, so that he may be a proper example fo…
I believe the kissing of the hand is part of the process in greeting the major clergy. The second part is bringing the forehead down to the level of the hand to show absolute respect and acceptance of the love and authority of his fatherhood over u…
"I believe, help my unbelief!" Mark 9:24
Most answers to life's issues are quite simple. They do not need long discussions, or writings. It is all right in front of your eyes. The question is: Do you want to open your eyes?
If you take your …
The factual aspect of Hierarchies is found throughout the Holy Bible:
1. The Old Testament: the Pentateuch
2. The Books of Kings
3. The Four Gospels
4. The Book of the Acts of the Apostles
5. Most of the Epistles of St. Paul, especially those…
