from 'the first epistle of saint peter' by abouna tadros malaty, translated in usa, p21 - 22: “But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.’ And if you call on the Father, wh…

oh dear, i am sorry you got as far as being the girlfriend of a Christian guy before you were honest with each other about your religious beliefs.you say you haven't told him you are an atheist, so you have not been honest with him, and it looks lik…

in romania there are many beautiful old orthodox churches.they nearly all have a few seats around the sides, fixed to the wall, for old people and disabled people and then 80 - 90% people stand during the service.the old people come early to the chu…

so i would advise you not to wear a headscarf in order to avoid strange looks...;-) visiting women do not have to cover their heads and visiting men do not have to uncover them.even some orthodox women do not cover their heads until just before tak…

this is a pan religious website which recommends meditation and other pagan practices.they don't have any special knowledge about Christianity. (tip: check out the 'home' page of every website you visit to check what their perspective / bias is) als…

please define it first!if you mean 'all praying together without restriction', then we are against it.if you mean 'all loving one another and recognising each other's Christianity' then we are for it. i imagine you mean some point in the middle of t…

to stay the coolest, wear thin, loose long trousers like the pakistani shalwar. this is much cooler than shorts, which expose your lower legs to burning (when outside) and are too close to you (tight) to allow air to circulate around your hot parts.…

invite her to egypt for a visit. if she does not want to visit and meet your family, then it is not serious.by the way, 'meeting' people for relationships online usually does not work.too many of my friends have too many broken hearts about this!

welcome to the forum :) here we are very friendly with atheists, muslims and everyone else. we believe in God because we experienced His love and we know He loves you also. it is true that most people in egypt don't understand atheism, they assume…

no, i don't use chrome, (nor anything else related to that terrible server which has no privacy at all!) and i still have the blank space.it is a nice blank space:)

in our church, if we miss it for more than 40 days, we should go to abouna and confess this before the next time we take Holy Communion.we should not just wander into church after 2 months of being 'busy' with our lives and go up to the altar and ta…

dear brother,these are the 2 sins that priests hear the most (i think).at least they are the 2 sins that are discussed the most on internet forums like this one.you don't even have to speak the same language as your priest. just tell him 'i did thos…

thank you!i think everyone is sleeping after an overdose of meat, or maybe they are just waking up in the western hemisphere after a late night at church! happy Christmas everyone, may God bless your feast with peace and love, and may we all remembe…
