no, south uk.

i read it!i like some coptic. i am actually happy with the current status in uk of most churches doing about half or just over half english in the main services and there also being some arabic and coptic. but it is better to say 'right and worthy' …

hi mark, happy new year!which country are you in? i am in the uk.i might be in a different country in 3 days!
-
i hope it's a 'no'.it would be very expensive for both countries. did anyone hear back from saint andrew and saint george?
-
i think it could happen.and if someone remarries before he is a priest, it is ok, he just can't remarry after. but as few people are called to the priesthood, don't worry about it happening to you / your friend. it probably won't happen. ;)

qawe, you sound like me! are you old already?! ;-) really, i think we should be more focused on doing things together. so if there are too many people to do a conference for all of them, then, for example, we could do one conference focused on 'find…

i hope less educated people and manual workers are allowed to go to.then i would be able to go (if it was in my country). what about old people?should they stay at home and weave palm crosses?

there are at least 8 million people in london.please send more missions.there is no schism, many people go to both missions as liturgies are only once a month each.they never happen on the same day.all missions have their strengths and weaknesses, s…

thanks, that one before the last one was one we studied in church history with the british orthodox church.it is one of my favourites!:-)
-
perhaps patriarch theodorus 2nd (EO) is aware of the history and planning to change things. personally, i don't think patriarch theodorus 2nd (OO) is naive enough to let significant power over egyptians pass over to greece or turkey.
-
wow, can you open another thread to discuss agios istin?is there a good english translation somewhere?i have heard on the internet that the hymn is not in very good greek / coptic, but there is something about it i love a lot.please tell me more if …

thanks for sharing:-)

this may help: (it has been posted here before) dear brother it is hard, but it is true that if you keep seeking you will find what you are looking for.start with a short prayer like 'our father' every day, and keep praying it, even if you feel not…

i don't know, but since he yelled 'axios' when giving patriarch tawadros 2nd the bishop's hat, i (and millions of copts) have loved him lots:-)may God preserve the lives of both patriarchs theodorus 2nd and may we join them in bringing God's love in…

thank you!i raise my nice cup of coffee to you too:-)

may God be with you all.but i don't understand why we are only discussing nude females?surely it is the same for both male and female? :-/

a 'bot' account is one generated automatically by a computer program. the admins can see by the information ('cookies' or whatever comes from the computer) that it is not being sent by a human being. the really good computer programs basically searc…

i meant 2 traditions of the time we celebrate it, not 2 reasons why we celebrate it.i found 4 different dates for the assumption feast among my orthodox friends.
-
yes, there seem to be 2 traditions of when we celebrate it and old and new calendar in each tradition!the british orthodox (coptic but new calendar) celebrated the feast a while ago;the romanian orthodox (and greek i think) celebrated it on 15th and…

i am in uk. sorry i did not pay so much attention to what happens in usa.congratulations to anba david.and congratulations to you who have received the much loved and missed anba karas! may God bless the work you all do for His kingdom.
-
very good points in the posts above.:-)
-
wow, you are all very blessed in new jersey! anba karas was the first orthodox priest i met; he was filling in for the priest in south england on a few occasions when i visited the church there.he really loves all people, in the church and outside a…

there was a bishop karas who was ordained recently (i think in february 2014) who was going to be a general bishop in cairo.is this a different bishop karas? they are both named after one of my favourite saints, who left a life as the emperor's brot…

by the way, tarabeza comes from the greek trapeza, which means table.if you remember that it was the europeans who invented high tables and chairs (instead of low tables and couches on the floor to recline on) then it makes sense. source:holidays in…

i think if the women are wearing asian baggy trousers (my favourite!) or any loose trousers, they should be allowed.i do think 'shrink to fit' types of jeans and wearing leggings in place of trousers should be discouraged. but i don't know what is t…
-
cyril,i was also assuming the hymns are sung in a language people understand (most of the time). as for the situation with bishops and overlapping jurisdictions in the uk, baba tawadros has got it in hand and will (probably soon) reorganise the bish…

everything is on lulu website (as above).was it you who was asking about father peter's books?i am trying to remember who i should send a message to!they are all on lulu.if there is an electronic form there, they are available and if not, there is n…

remnkemi, this: "You're missing the point. It is not simple is better. Rather the simplicity is a layer of the complex theology. They are one and the same. Taeta and Gido know the hymns therefore they know complex theology (without knowing they know…
