that's right. also, my top tip: praying in bed is only to be done AFTER u have finished praying standing up / kneeling etc. ;) (have learnt from my own naughty experience!)

dear brothers and sisters, could anyone give me a list (send p.m. if you like) of all of the hymns / songs that are appropriate for Holy Communion? eg. particularly like 'from all nations', is this mazboot? i would like to compile a list of communio…

lovely links, binC, especially the 2nd one. i will look at them again when i have more time. i know romania well, and it is amazing to think people survive in the wilderness there; in the winter it gets down to -20C or colder! may God give them merc…

sounds like u are depressed. u have contributed a lot to this forum over the years, so , no, the world is not better off without u. and this is not just the usual reaction to the sin in the world. the Holy Spirit convicts and gives life. the enemy c…

hi, this seems like it was continued from another thread; i don't understand if there was a link. but Jesus was miraculously conceived (incarnated) and took on a mortal human nature with the capacity to commit sin. He did not inherit any sins (nor …

the bottom line is his relationship with God. if he loves God (and believes in Him), he will want to stop. so talk about God, see where he is at. then ask him what he wants out of this romantic relationship and why. if he wants to stay in the churc…

the physical bits go in the guts and the spiritual bits go in the spirit. of course, you can't quite distinguish what is physical from what is spiritual as they are not separate. so it's a bit of a mystery! ;)

welcome to the forums! i don't think most people are clueless about conversion; but i know that in some churches people don't have the best attitude to newcomers. be very patient (itself a valuable spiritual discipline) and read a lot about the chur…

i, personally dislike hearing archaic english. even though i am not young, i still don't understand it. too me (and too millions of native english speakers), it sounds distant, upper class, and lacks beauty. i would love it if we stopped using it. …

please pray that God brings more unity. we all wrote a joint declaration of orthodoxy in 1990, but getting full communion will take a bit longer. the bishops, priests and theologians need our prayers a lot on this and we can help by visiting other o…

never give up. God Himself welcomes you and He will help u to welcome others and be welcomed as well. but the church is is full or ordinary humans like me and sometimes we mess up. please forgive us and try again.

saint anthanasius on the life of saint antony and saint athanasius' work on the psalms. anything translated by pope shenouda 3rd (our much loved patriarch who has now departed). he references a lot of other sources as well and writes simply so peopl…

my muslim friend introduced me to his coptic friend; this is how i found the orthodox church!

may God guide u. His plan for us is not always what we would choose, but it is always best. the disciples were scattered by persecution, which was not easy for them, but as a result, we all heard the good news of God's love for us. may u and yr fami…
