u welcome, yes ppl who are around 20 call me tant, the first time it happened i was shocked, then i checked my age and i was over 40, so it was perfectly fine! that was a while back.age tends to creep up on you, just when you think you are still qui…

dear timothy 53,the evil one has many ways of fighting us.what you are experiencing sounds like a type of listlessness, a general dissatisfaction.the church fathers who wrote in greek called it 'akedia', sometimes anglicised as 'acedie' (as if we wo…

no worries. iam also busy 'in real life' ;)i don't have a smart phone (at least 25 good reasons for that, mainly they are way too addictive) but we sang it in church on sat eve, so i have started to learn how to sing it :)our church has overnight ta…

is he still alive? you can maybe write to him.I wrote to a website owner who translates texts once and she wrote back!also i wrote to a priest who publishes orthodox books to ask for permission to modernise the english in one of the book chapters an…

i don't know but i know the uk midcopts group as i was part of the diocese for 7 months about 13 years ago (was working in the area) - there are some wonderful servants there.if you zoom in on that page, you see that the quote is from 'understanding…
-
you learn from daniel, from me you only learn that i like cool tunes! ;)
-
i always assumed it was because we love to sing extra during kiahk and it has a cool tune.;) but probably there is a better reason than this!it is maybe because we are priasing God extra because of the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. it is a v…

wow, that is quite complex and clever!i think it is good to have a shorter version, and i plan to look at the longer versions as well when i have time so i understand it in more depth (it is a while since i did so much maths!)

the paradise of the fathers (bustan al rohban) is here (towards the top of the page):https://www.ecatholic2000.com/athanasius/untitled-208.shtmli don't know if that is what you are looking for.may God help you find it :-)

lovely reflections :)

dear coptic zealot,your links indicate that you have a problem with this.if you would like to discuss this in detail, please send a personal message and i will answer your points.this is what i will say publically:our church is inviting other groups…

there is so much to write but to save a multitude of words i would say that we honour people by pointing out their virtues (good habits) to others.if they hurt us, it is ok to tell them, this helps them grow spiritually.we should not uncover other p…

grace and peace, i am sending a personal message.if i ask anything too personal in it, feel free to skip that question and move to the next.it is now 17 years since i joined the orthodox church (yay!) so i may have some useful tips.if anyone else wa…

aah, i have chatted with bots before. a bit embarassing but probably useful for practicing communication! as for the main topic, i like kerlos' link - it even has the coptic written in arabic :)
-
i assume it was about another discussion, maybe one that is now deleted.when it comes to internet forums, less knowledge is more (better)!
-
sah! as we say in arabic - you are exactly right, sister :)may God guide you and all your church.:)

i had a little message exchange with daniel kyrillos and we think that the writers were using the term as the greek philosophers (e.g. plato) used it, not in the gnostic sense.so that is the same conclusion as yours.
