  • I'm a little confused; do you mean the history of melismatic tunes or the history of _- - / / ||----- ? I don't think hazzats have much of a history; it was created for people to learn long hymns easier/faster. But there's quite a rich history behi…
  • I think maybe you should start small with reachable (realistic) goals, like your father pointed out. Do you like being around kids? Why don't you volunteer to babysit them while the parents are in the Servant's Meetings. A few years ago (when I we…
  • Not exactly, more like something I want to believe in my head. They say I have quite the imagination. :) (I really do have him on speed dial though. I just haven't built up the courage to call him yet. Some day.)
  • [quote author=Biboboy link=topic=12697.msg149247#msg149247 date=1324329484] The cymbals and triangle should be BANNED from the Coptic Church. The only instrument we're allowed to use in our worship is the one God created: our human voices. [/quote]…
  • Cantor Gad Lewis and I are best friends. We have each other on speed dial and everything. Yes, he is blind.
  • Ioa, I love you too!!! PS: I'm in the process of copyrighting your new signature before someone else steals it.

  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12676.msg148908#msg148908 date=1323710760] Every visual stimulus is processed and a choice is made by the person: ignore it or acknowledge it. The mind is judging the value of the stimulus. From there, the mind judg…

  • I asked a bishop, and he said "everything should be consecrated (including censor, the throne, incense box, altar cloths, water vessels, the cross, and al behsara), but not all of them are anointed by the Holy Myron". ILSM, your credibility score j…

  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12639.msg148708#msg148708 date=1323304044] So I was right on my first post when I said [/quote] I'm the only one who can say that. You can't credibilize your own post.

  • JG, I'm going to take this up with my Baba Shenouda. Rem, Go away.
  • Lol mass karaoke. No, because chanting 'properly' actually means: deacons take turn singing verses of Psalm 150 in their own, creative-yet nasally, microphone hogging, chick glancing style one at a time while everyone else waits until they're done…
  • [quote author=JG link=topic=12659.msg148698#msg148698 date=1323296633] [quote author=TITL link=topic=12659.msg148694#msg148694 date=1323296281] It's not that people don't want to learn the long tune (well, that's part of it), but usually it's 1-4 de…
  • Why are we having two different conversations in the same thread? JG, I order you to stop.
  • It's not that people don't want to learn the long tune (well, that's part of it), but usually it's 1-4 deacons who sing it INDIVIDUALLY in their own style, and you can't sing along. But with the refrain, it's faster and everyone can sing along!  ;D …
  • Then how about "Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came and took flesh from the Virgin"?
  • Thank you for replying, Father. imikhail, Does 'Isoos Pi`ekhristos Epsheery Emefnouty aficheesarex khen tee-parthenous' make any sense? Cause in Arabic we say "Yasou alMaseeh ibn-Allah wooleedah men el3azra", so how come in English we don't say "J…
  • Your humbala act to get me to have pity and increase your score isn't working. I had you at the same level as ILSM (which is an honor), but since you're pushing it, you're down to +3.3. Anyone else want to be evaluated?
    in QUESTION Comment by TITL December 2011
  • Peter, We've been using it since the day I was born.. so yeah, it's new. imikhail, We're talking about communion.
  • Begotten isn't a noun?! So you're saying 'the One born of the Father before all ages...' makes sense, but 'begotten of the Father before all ages' doesn't? Either I'm confused or you are. Plus, in case you haven't noticed, ILSM's posts are a bunc…
  • First, Dzheremi isn't -8.3; he's +8.3. Second, it was Jimmy's party you crashed. You can make it up by giving him a metania _/\o Third, you and ILSM are the same on my meter: 3.4
    in QUESTION Comment by TITL December 2011
  • My church uses "The Begotten of the Father before all ages came and took flesh from the Virgin"... that doesn't sound like a fragment to me. Is it?
  • Communion is a Sacrament. It has absolutely nothing to do with the spirituality of a priest.
  • This week is missing a Shoutbox.
  • haha umm.... I don't think so!  ;D Yeah, most people don't like to be filmed in general (including myself.. which is why I'm trying to get myself out of CYC Broadcasting by finding alternatives for this monk!), but I think this will really benefit …
