i think you should take him to your church.let him found out about the orthodox church and then he can work out how to translate it into spanish later. there are spanish speaking orthodox churches in countries where spanish is the majority language.…

are you able to ask your priest if it's ok to confess when you are in egypt?it's worth getting his opinion on this. when i moved house far away, i asked my priest if i could confess in the new place. i was really worried what he would think as i kne…

be a perfect subdeacon's wife.take great care of him, listen to all things he is interested in (even if they are boring for you) and spend your time wisely, taking care of your spiritual life.

i am listening to the first lecture.you really have to be bilingual!it's good for arabic study though. i remember that 'mabna' means 'building'.i would not recommend it generally as i think most people would find it hard to follow the 2 languages, b…

o, a preschool servant!i would never have guessed that! but don't call it a preservant.like i know you're american and have to invent new words, but it sounds terrible! by the way, i just got invited to a party where there will be fisikh! usually i …
-
what is a preservant? sounds like a servant preserved in oil.maybe a bit like fisikh. sounds a bit fishy to me... ;-)

go to church.ask abouna to speak english...

i only know 'she enrompi nem Isos',sang to the tune of 'happy birthday'.in my favourite coptic church, all birthdays are celebrated in english, arabic and coptic!;-) so i don't have the one you are looking for.

if you read the book of saint mark (shortest gospel) 1 chapter a day from now, you will be on chapter 14 at the start of Holy Week. read the last chapters through Holy Week and so you will have a whole week to read 3 chapters. it is good to read the…

you also need my favourite sermon: living the orthodox life is much better than learning from books.when you feel God's love again, then you can start reading books.until then, attend church, read the Bible and read carefully the words of the liturg…

there are not any simple answers, because each person's situation is different.but many people have felt low and far from God and then developed stronger faith after. things that can make you feel this way include mental health problems like depress…

basically, we don't inherit the sin itself, we inherit the sinful nature (=tendency to sin).we don't agree with saint augustine's (of hippo) theology; the catholics do.we agree with all the other early (before 451) church fathers. so saint mary call…

there are all sorts of rules in eastern orthodox churches. i went to a long vespers service in a russian church (no translation but a few of the songs were in english) and the subdeacons (i think that is what they were) went around extinguishing the…

as far as i know it is still valid. i did ask a bishop, and he said that if i went for a wedding only then it was ok, but he wasn't thrilled that i wanted to go.in the end i didn't go, as it turned out our friend's new family was much posher then we…
-
seeing as there are about 2 people there before the service starts and about 100 candles burning at the end of the liturgy, i think it's ok to light them during the service!(or 98% copts are wrong!) ;-) i have only been an orthodox Christian 5 years…
-
have been to saint andrews!it is the most lovely eastern orthodox church i visited. really lovely people too.:-)sadly it is in london, i don't think our friend mnc_hnn is near there. they are v v behind the copts when it comes to translation into en…

the whole book of james is great.don't worry, it's only 5 chapters!:-)

i have been there, it's nice but they seemed surprised to have visitors!(if it's the same one i am thinking of).feel free to send personal message for details, and may God guide you. :)
-
thanks for sharing. i have heard of others start fasting before they started taking Holy Communion also.it's good to be as fully prepared as you can! :)
-
you can take Holy Communion in indian orthodox, syriac, armenian, ethiopian and eritrean orthodox churches. have a look for these on the internet or in the local library. may God guide you.

saint john cassian is a saint in the catholic church who learnt a lot from the egyptian monks. he wrote some very good things. so i think you should research his writings and study the Bible and fast and pray. God will lead you to other Christians w…
