I guess quite a bit transpired while I was typing my last reply! Wow! Relax everyone!

There has been never a woman president--true. That's because she has not been elected. Obvious, but must be stated. I will cite: Golda Meir (former Israeli Prime Minister) served her people well, and humiliated all of the Arab (Male) national he…

Actually (to clarify, since I was typing so fast), Our God created woman to satisfy the lonely yearnings of man--Adam. He (God) did not create her to be in servitude to Adam.

The Almighty in His Omniscience created woman out of the lonely yearnings of man--Adam. He did not create her to be His servant in the regard of indentured servitude. The first chapters of Genesis are clear to this point.

Hey Brain, A woman brought you into this world...right. She voted to have you as a blessing in her life and the life of the whole family. She didn't elect this decision out of physical regards. I think the remarks by the preceding young ladies s…

Without getting into a lengthy discussion to prove the issue. Men are supposed to serve women. I know this will probably spark a major discussion for which I will have to assemble a litany of references. I hope not, I still need to answer some o…

I have said this before: "Listen to your mothers." In my own adage: 'Mothers are saints, but grandmothers are angels." Listen to the "saints" and "angels". Actually, I think some mothers act like archangels (just a joke).

Timos, I just got off the phone with my friend in Chicago. I have the following leads. English Liturgies: St. Mary (Ard El-Golf). The Very Rev. Fr. Abraam Sleman (current pastor and successor to Fr. Gabriel at St. Mark in Jersey City) was origi…

Send me a note on my e-mail (this will be an easier reminder), and when I am in New Jersey I will send you the citation for that given book. The two Liturgies for Fr. Gabriel on the site do not have organ accompaniment. I have a friend in Chicago …

Are you kidding, it's freezing here in Connecticut!

I'm sorry I did not get this posting, since I signed later from its placement. I have the book of psalis for the special feasts in Coptic and Arabic. Let me know if you still need it for the future. Send on my e-mail.

You may contact the Book store at the Coptic Orthodox Church of St. Mark in Jersey City, NJ for any copies of the Liturgies in the time frame cited: Coptic Orthodox Church of St. Mark 427 West Side Avenue P.O. Box 4397 Jersey City, NJ 07304 tel: …

Timos, I believe the churches you make reference to are in "Masr El-Gedida". Although I do not have the exact name. They also have liturgies in English for the Coptic (khawaga) expatriots who are living or studying in Egypt as well as for foreign…

Also remember, better to remain single and searching for the right person than divorced and miserable for having made an uninspired choice from the Holy Spirit and His Sacraments.

Mimi, Is that your real name or is it a nickname? My mother's name is Mimi and I amazed at how many people will ask her to spell it.

Just a joke, but have there been any recent sightings of Elvis in TN. Let me know.

Hi!!! I think your choice of "SaviorOfMySoul" is quite inspired and fortuitous. The acronym is "SOMS" which in the Coptic language is a verb which means: "to look, to behold, to view, to consider". Hence, one who relies on the Saviour of My Soul…

From what I have read about her, she reminds me in the simple regards of St. Apanoub. Truly, "Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Mt 19:14)

Congratulations on your engagement Lisa with your betrothed. I look forward to taking the plunge one day myself. Also, welcome to the Coptic Orthodox Church. Its Master is the same one in the Roman Catholic Church. We may have different traditio…

Unfortunately, the story has true implications. The adage that I have coined follows that thought. I use this to differentiate a lot of things that happen in the Church, i.e., what I call the difference between a "Coptic" and an "Egyptian". (yes, …
-
CopticAngel, both answers are correct. do what your heart and soul, as they are inspired by your beliefs, regard you to do. In the Book of Revelation it mentions: "Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?" I said to him,…

After the seventh century, we became a minority in our land of Egypt. We were harassed, persecuted, tortured, humiliated, and killed. This infraction upon our being and existence is still in practice. Throughout the centuries, different humiliati…

jf, there are no representations to that effect. there are plenty of citations of meetings between people and the like. why in particular to major figures is there no overlap? it is not doubt on my part. God grants many things to an extent beyo…
-
Of course those numbers are not literal. No one has touched on the fact that the Bible does not identify contemporaries relative to overlap of generations and persons. If they lived that long, maybe Seth talked to Noah? and any list of combination…

Who is the bishop in Australia, and what church is designated as his headquarters? That defines which is the cathedral church. There can't be two cathedrals. Not to belabor the issue, it has nothing to do with size. Cathedra--is properly the bis…

CS and Iqbal, The verses that were rendered are well known and well remembered. CS original thread was quite poignant in its comments yet for the average to surmise may have left gaps. I don't think anyone was saying that CS had erred in any way.…

Hey, families can have cleaning outings at the church instead of going to the mall. It's less expensive that way and more rewarding.
-
Thank you Copticboy, that was very kind of you. I have been very sensitive over this issue because there has been a systematic approach for the changing of these facts. You may not be privy to them, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I bel…
-
As a note, a "cathedral" is defined as the seat of the bishop. This is regardless of the sizing of the edifice. People often mistake this nuance with the physical size of the church.

Copticboy is incorrect. The registered paperwork shows specifically that St. Mark in Jersey City is the first church in the United States. I have copies of that paperwork which I have presented several times over. The conjecture by people that S…
