"The Lady who did not experience marriage" Church? That's a very very odd name, even for a Greek Church!
-
Ah yes, there is a number 8: 8: The Procession of the Holy Spirit

These are really nice! If you're part of Copticworld, you should definitely share those in there as well :) (and here of course)

Dearest to Christ Marina, Please reply. Tell us how you're doing. Are you seeing someone to help you with these problems?
-
to be honest, what JW's do is not really what I would imagine Christ would want. Let's not throw pearls before swine. They need needs first. We should concentrate our efforts to those in need, and then, this light we bring to the world will attra…

My dear Marina, which parish do you go to? You need to seek help immediately. I suggest you go the nearest hospital and speak to an ER nurse. And this is because we love you and wish you could seek help there. Call your therapist as well when yo…

I think his major issue was publicly stating how we should dress up modestly like Hijabi women. It is considered inappropriate in a country where Christians are under pressure, no matter the gender, to encourage this superiority complex these group…

Probably not this year. I will try my best next time :)

woleteselasie God bless you and strengthen you! Prayers and intercession of the Theotokos and Pope St. Kyrillos VI.

God bless your work!

There were also Ethiopians in Jerusalem who were converted by St. Peter. I can imagine that these two accounts of the Ethiopians were not the only Ethiopians who were converted into Christ. Edit: My mistake. It doesn't explicitly mention any Ethi…

I think there was this story about St. Dionysius the Great, where he tried to baptize the baby and the water froze underneath to prevent the baptism. This was following the fact that the mother decided to do the sign of the cross on her baby with h…

It would make sense. St. Severus of Antioch, a pillar of faith to the OO church (and he is actually deservedly added to the diptychs of patriarchs of Alexandria, even though he wasn't) was also a monk before his patriarchate. The next most learned …

HG Bishop Angelos is more than welcome to be bishop of NJ. I hope no one in NJ objects ;)

Here's an updated list of the Deans so far: St. Mark the Apostle Justus, 6th Bishop of Alexandria Eumenius, 7th Bishop of Alexandria Marcianius, 8th Bishop of Alexandria Celadion, 9th Bishop of Alexandria Athenagoras Pantænus Clement of Alexandria O…

Where is Bishop Bulus al Bushi buried?
-
There is also a possibility that St. Cyril might have been dean, but I'm not quite 100% sure. But he certainly wrote like one.
-
Pierus, Theognostus, St. Theonas, and St. Peter Ieromartyros are some that come to mind, I think. I'm not sure who was dean between St. Peter and St. Didymus. I wanted to give an overview of the Apostolicity of Origen. Origen records having been i…

Well, he's not from the school of Alexandria ;)
-
Certainly, it would be a general commemoration of deans without specific names. Like the remembrance of the 318 assembled at Nicea, the 150 at Constantinople, and the 200 at Ephesus. One can say, to each person, they can use their own imagination …

Dear Rem, I just purchased "Flesh of Our Brethren" by His Eminence Metropolitan Seraphim. I'll look through to see what it says, but my impression was not a schism, but simply that, a loss of communication, that is, they forgot that other existed. …

Abun D'bashmayo is worth learning if you get the chance. It's such a beautiful chant, and you can learn it quickly.

The BOC started as a mission from the Syrian Orthodox Church in the 1800s, and grew quite successfully, with some revival of ancient Celtic Christian traditions and saints. They then lost communication with the Syrian Church. Communion was reestab…

I invite you to read this thread, where I have provided patristic evidence, and this only skims the surface. http://tasbeha.org/community/index.php?p=/discussion/14739/oopnevma-vs-pipnevma/p1

Is grace an unmerited gift? Yes! But what is this gift? The gift is God Himself dwelling in us. The grace of God is the presence of God, by which we react in various ways. Read Fr. Tadros Malaty's book "the grace of God". So yes, grace=deifica…

I have read some of the accusations made against EOs. Most of these accusations, as is attested even by the teachings of EOs themselves, are baseless and gross misreading of the texts. Simply thought, if one reads the Alexandrian Church fathers ba…

Dear Cyril, Yes, God became man so that men might become gods. Christ said "Ye are gods". St. Athanasius, St. Cyril, the Cappadocian fathers all said this. St. Ephrem the Syrian said, "He gave us divinity, we gave Him humanity." And yes, man doe…
-
I don't understand this idea that the EOs believe "we are totally dissolved into the divine nature". If anything, I recently heard a talk by Fr. Bishoy Salama that completely misunderstands and denies deification. It is in my opinion some Coptic c…

Dear EsmoEpchois, Take for instance the CYC lecture. Practically speaking, it's not really for a "first-grader", but it is a pluralistic lecture that can appease any religion really. I'm even astonished at how much Christ is not mentioned in the …

There was one of those annual Oriental Orthodox conferences, and there were even EOs present. I kid you not, some OOs I've talked to felt uneasy with his speech. It sounded to them like a Joel Osteen meeting, plain and simple.
