Father Peter, what are your sources for this? I do not doubt what you are saying but if you have sources I'd like to read up more on the topic...if this is so...then what about Coptic and its descent from the hieroglyphic form down to the one we ha…

Fr. Peter, There is a huge difference between knowing a language enough to be able to communicate and knowing a language fluently. I doubt the majority of the Egyptian population spoke Greek fluently. I was told that St. Mark did not speak Greek …

Also, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't Greek only spoken by educated people? The rest of Egypt spoke Coptic, not Greek...Coptic can be traced back to hieroglyphics...

Fr. Peter, I agree with you that English should be the predominant language...LOL it already is...the second generation who has come here barely even speaks Arabic anymore...and while spirituality is important, I don't think we should try to wipe ou…

Just something I'd like to point out...anyone read the story of St. Sylvanus? Beautiful story that I think is very relevant to what we have been discussing here: http://books.google.com/books?id=FiUYAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA284&dq=st.+sylvanu…

mina and epchois_nai_nan, Indeed we pronounce the Greek very wrong in our church...taking Greek at my school enlightened me of that. However, within Greek, there are still distinctions in sound to be made, whether you are pronouncing modern Greek …

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10589.msg129114#msg129114 date=1296503539] Why would it be the long "e" sound? It should be "yes ti-metanoi-a" [/quote] If I am not mistaken, metanoia is a Greek word meaning repentance...the oi combination in pronounc…

Most of the deacons at a church (who are youth, there were girls with them as well) got caught by their priest drinking alcohol (to the point of drunkenness) and smoking weed...at a FAMILY retreat!! A lot of the younger kids who saw them were cryin…

Our Abouna and a deacon from our church were interviewed by Hugh Hewitt on 870 AM (conservative radio) a few days ago about this issue.

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10572.msg129017#msg129017 date=1296440775] Not the army. Army are the good guys. Theyre getting weapons from Israel and men on rooftops to shoot the Egyptians (200 was the number I heard).. in 48 hours. Either police o…
