sorry, don't know the american priests! may God repose his soul and may he pray for us. did u go to college, return orthodoxy? also what college are u at 'fatherbishoykamel'?

why do want to hear especially about medical school? when my friends say they are studying medicine, i feel sorry for them because they will have a hard life! also, i presume u r not actually abouna because u r a college student. or maybe it's a ne…

i can't answer all yr questions, but since patriarch theodore 2nd of the EO church in alexandria gave a beautiful speech and yelled 'axios' at the enthronement of our patriarch tawadros (theodore) 2nd of the coptic church, we love him lots! let us k…

may God guide u and help u to remember all u studied.

just to be clear, i am suggesting doing HALF the hymns in coptic (agreeing with remnkemi), not none of them... i'm sorry if i came across harsh, ophadece, i admire very much your efforts at keeping coptic culture and Christian faith alive. it's prec…

unless you aim for some middle ground between 'only the longest possible hymns with a very difficult tune in a foreign language' and 'easy to sing tunes with heretical lyrics'. middle ground is not so hard! :o try 'a few long hymns (half in engli…

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=13928.msg161562#msg161562 date=1354150560] For some comedy, I'd like to add what my church does year round (Easter, Christmas, Annual etc.) After Psalm 150, we have a wonderful array of: + O Pilgrim + How L…

u can say 'liturgy' (from greek), which is basically the same as 'mass' (from latin). in arabic, it is 'uddass', which is the egyptian pronunciation of 'quddas', meaning 'holy".

hi, so u are from the serbian church? :) welcome!
-
forgive me, i did not read all the posts, but 'night of the last supper' is good to sing during Holy Communion because people can understand it and can follow the tune. this way, they can use this song to worship God. in the end, it's about worshipi…

are you trying to work and study at the same time? may God guide you. do not fear anything in this world, God is in control.
-
not rude, just u will not be taking communion if u don't stay! i have been in churches before where visitors pop in and can't stay till the end. i didn't realise yr church started so late. by all means go to the coptic one. maybe it will be qawe's …

then don't go to the coptic church for Christmas!! the earliest i ever left church at Christmas was 1.30am. it is the second longest service outside of Pascha and Holy Week. thank God i was able to take annual leave for jan 7th...

how can we get hold of this? :)

hey, theophilus 1, long time no 'see'? how's it going, brother? anastasia, u can find out more about eritrea and the dear and wise patriarch antonios here: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php/topic,12910.msg160835.html#msg160835 may God …

hey, jg, how's it going? i'm sending a p.m. about communion hymns so i don't disrupt the thread. :)
-
interesting. our church values confession very much. if yr priest is not interested in hearing your confession, then maybe you should arrange to go for confession with the coptic priest before taking Holy Communion. i tried to do the 2 services in …
-
best thing is to go to vespers and ask the priest there at the end. or phone / email the priest first. if you go to confession regularly (with us it seems to average once a month although once in 3 months is not so unusual) and take Holy Communion i…

hi, can i call u anastasia for short? i 'know' u from the other forum, great to see u here, may God bless u. :) mabsoota (which means 'happy' in arabic. i am especially happy after church, eg now!) :) :)
-
well, having now discussed this with imikhail, i can conclude my discussion by saying that it is OO, but not one of those OO courses that seek to upset EO people. it is an official OO course, running with the full support of abba seraphim, and if t…
-
imikhail, i have sent a personal message, as i don't wish to discuss this publicly.
-
nice pictures of the pope! :)
-
try to discuss a little of it with your priest. tell him there are things you find hard to talk about because you are afraid he will think you are weird. we are all a little bit weird, each in our own way, but God loves us all.
-
may God give u all great peace and guidance. you enlighten us with your posts. may God bless u and remind u how great His love is.

sorry, got it mixed up. there is a translation of the words somewhere, i forget where, but the video of what i wanted to post is here:

translation of patriarch theodore's (greek one) address: (warning: is so beautiful, you may cry...) copied from here: http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php/topic,47866.45.html (towards bottom of page) On this blessed day, during whic…

soooooooo sorry, i meant to post the link! of course it is the one above. if u can't watch all of it, watch my favourite bit: it's only 5 1/2 mins and it shows the fantastic relationship between baba tawadros 2nd (ours) and patriarch theodore 2nd …
