  • I am aware that H.G Bishop Angaelos was in recent discussion with the Catholic Church concerning unity. The result of these discussions was a book, i guess outlining the overall agreements between both Churches. I would be interested to know more …
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12849.msg151227#msg151227 date=1327915036] We pray the Raising of Incense so we sing Doxologies. We use our own tunes, and are presently engaged in developing some improvements to our music for certain areas of…
  • Does the BOC do doxoogies of saints? Do you use the same psalmody as the COC, or do you have your own? What tunes do you use also??
  • i heard the same on Facebook.. is it salafists? do you have the news link?
  • [quote author=Abanoub737 link=topic=12844.msg151141#msg151141 date=1327702969] I seriously suggest you do not listen to this guy. This guy also made another video which basically said religion sucks Christianity rocks - which makes no sense. My prie…
  • [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=12841.msg151111#msg151111 date=1327598968] actually, the time we die is arranged by God. next time i crash my car, i might die. today, i didn't. (so when i do, u can tell my friends, 'don't worry, she was ready to d…
  • OK, let's get a few things straight and clarified: a) What's the probability of choosing 1 SPECIFIC coin from a bag containing 10 coins of equal size? This is pure probability. If I don't get that coin, or if I do, its all down to luck. This has …
  • I pray that God glorify Himself in your life and his life, Fr. Peter, and heal him.
  • But, for the COC, has the RCC lost all credibility? For them to have hidden the abuse ? For their bishops to be even engaged in such acts? How should they be viewed?
  • These are just a few of my thoughts and contemplations on the video and the message from Fr. Moses Samaan: Fr. Moses Samaan, Presbyter at St. Demiana's COC in San Diego, CA said:I am very surprised to see Coptic Orthodox Christians sharing this link…

  • We are prohibiting this guy from attending a protestant concert, but are we offering the equivalent of an "Orthodox Concert" where this poor fellow lives? We tell our youth that they cannot attend the catholic church, yet we do not have orthodox c…
  • Hi, Thanks for your response. Can you tell me what YouTube video it was from, and then I can convert it to Mp3 also. How did u convert it to mp3 anyway? Thanks
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12774.msg150039#msg150039 date=1325881662] Yes. That would make sense as well. Depends on how the mother and child were positioned. [/quote] My apologies.. it seems to me that it does look like this could have…
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12774.msg150030#msg150030 date=1325873279] I can't say what you should do, since you should discuss this with your own priest. I can only say what I would think if you presented yourself for communion with an i…
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12774.msg150028#msg150028 date=1325872855] Because you are presenting a person to God, and we present with our right hand because it represents the good, the light, the life. It is cultural and symbolic, but tha…
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12774.msg150025#msg150025 date=1325871779] If you presented yourself for communion carrying a wriggling baby I would be more concerned that you and the infant received communion safely than which hand you were h…
  • I just want to make my point absolutely clear: I have NO problem with the Church's traditions. I do have a problem when applying them (i.e. the application of them) ends up in something that is quite dangerous. Hence, I did say :"where does it end?…
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12774.msg150018#msg150018 date=1325866384] I find it rather offensive that you should speak of ancient and universal Orthodox tradition in the way you have. It is neither random, nor superstitious. I would sug…
  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12774.msg150012#msg150012 date=1325861263] Receiving communion with the right hand is the traditional way in the Church. We received this Tradition from the apostles. There is nothing wrong with keeping the Traditi…
  • [quote author=qawe link=topic=12774.msg150002#msg150002 date=1325823917] Don't make such a big thing out of this. Every church has small perceived issues such as this. Our church isn't doing too badly compared to the catholic church with its various…
  • Wait a second, before you all judge me. The priest that told me this was a good friend, even a distant family relative.  We get along pretty well. But that's neither here nor there. What's bothering me is the importance of this in our Church? …
  • Hi, please check out this video: there are loads of versions of it on youtube, but this particular version is done by MEMRI, which means that some western person, critical of islam, obviously found this amusing. whilst thinking about this video…
  • Saint John Chrysostom said: "one cannot prevent the birds flying over one's head, but you can certainly prevent them from building a nest on your head" He was talking about temptations that arise in life. I'm assuming that you are talking about lu…

  • ahhaha.. excellent. Well done! Man.. they should have done the kiyahk tune!!! WHy on earth are they doing sanawee tune? I just have one small question: What kind of permission(s) does one need to do this in the street like that? Do you need to a…
  • [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=12727.msg149737#msg149737 date=1325358624] The gifts were a symbol of the three gifts given to Christ. The traditions that we have today, the tree and presents under them, comes from St Boniface. When he was in moder…
  • Is CTV ok for 2 or 3 year olds to watch? Fr. Peter, are there any Christian satellite channels that you would recommend? Is a "smile of a child" a good channel?
  • [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=12746.msg149662#msg149662 date=1325232702] Well, I don't know the Coptic view, but I can certainly give you mine. This gift is almost extinct. The Holy Spirit while it does allow for all the gifts mentioned…
