Oops, sorry , mahraeel, i don't mean to put u off medicine, because it can also be very fulfilling, and, like any other job you do to please God, it is serving God. Just it's not as exciting as some people make out, and I don't want all these bright…

medicine kinda sucks. like a lot of the time. so only do it if you really like it! ;) (u can quote me 2 yr parents lol) yeah and that stuff about 'contracts' sounded dodgy. God is more impressed if u r kind to unkind people, give back good for evil…

that's right, in Geneva, Switzerland in September 1990 they all met up and decided that actually they all believed the same thing and were actually just using different words. But after that they were supposed to have lots of other meetings to resto…

This is a great discussion topic! Recently we were discussing the martyrdom of St Stefanous in dars kitaab. When he died (Acts 7:55) he saw heaven open and Jesus Christ 'standing at the right hand of God'. Normally (eg Hebrews 10:13) Jesus sits down…

Dear QT PA 2T, I believe your concern for the Church is inspired by God. Please keep praying for renewal. As you have seen in the other posts, some Churches are doing well in this, others less so. Our abouna is passionate about sharing Christ with t…

I will try to answer your question, I don't know about your abouna but my abouna does give advice at confession, although not always as much as I want! Maybe your abouna wants you to develop a closer relationship with God in order to find your answe…

PS yes, there are problems in Europe (I am from the UK) but Churches are starting now to fill up again, my Coptic Church received a new member (Catholic) last week and we have regular visitors. Other Churches are also experiencing increased growth, …

I think v few people want to just copy everything, they are following the footsteps of our fathers by 'loving one another'. Maybe not all of you know, but in 1990 all the Orthodox Patriarchs met in Geneva, Switzerland and decided that the great Orth…
