in practice, people who read the Bible in arabic use the masoretic text for the old testament (no deuterocanonical books as it was translated into arabic by protestants, the orthodox had not got around to it!) but parts of the Bible (a large part th…

ioannes, yr post brings tears to my eyes, it's so true. is there any way to comment on the memorial if u don't have an account with yahoo, hotmail, aol and facebook? it has been lovely to read all the posts there and i would like to write something.

we said different ones in church today. but it was useful to have these ones to get the general idea

thanks a lot for these, mina.

qawe, if the end of the world comes soon, we won't live that many years to see patriarchs come and go. maybe that is what mina was saying. it still feels sad and strange, even though we are obviously much younger. may God give us all peace and may …

God knows all yr pain and yr struggles. keep telling Him how things are and praise Him for He loves us so much that He wants to have a relationship with us. pray from the agpeya and take advice from abouna.

interesting, so how can us non-monks stop stepping on out long skirts when doing metanoia? has anyone invented some way of hitching it up at the back? i don't wear a long skirt at work but i often do when chilling out or in church and i tend to stan…

dear geomike, it sounds like a great program for computer nerds. but a bit complicated for me...

i am saying that if u look at a short extract from something he has said, it may look like he is advocating the catholic 'original sin' idea, but i expect this is not what he is trying to say. i consider bishop youssef to be very blessed by God and…
