[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=9818.msg120205#msg120205 date=1286309712] Here is my favorite argument. Ask him if he is married, if he loves his wife, or if he loves his mother. Most likely he will reply quickly with a yes. Then ask him to prove…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=9818.msg149664#msg149664 date=1325238569] I have heard this 'joke' used by other clergy and have not found it appropriate. It is of course a universal 'joke' and when I was in the Brethren we also used it. But…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12741.msg149630#msg149630 date=1325163685] I agree with you, it is awful and we must do what we can. I have many people from an EO background in my own little congregation and we get on as a true family. But new…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12741.msg149627#msg149627 date=1325161449] The reason is because the Greeks and Armenians have certain rights over certain areas of the Church which are formalised by law. The Greeks appear to always be trying t…

Hi Remnkimi, Indeed Fr Peter's comments have been quite interesting to say the least! I would not have expected him to be so optimistic about the England's Christian identity. I keep on reading stories on how Christians in the UK are denied the rig…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12727.msg149522#msg149522 date=1324909092] It is always easy to criticise those who do not know Christ. It is easier than criticising ourselves. [/quote] Dear Fr. Peter, First and foremost, wishing you a bless…

Where does the concept of handing out presents at Christmas time come from??? What's the meaning? At least people should be doing something with some kind of understanding; not living life haphazardly in this way, doing stuff for the sake of doing…

Let me tell you what the problem is and what the answer is: The Problem: I went to a museum with a friend of mine a few years ago. It was a museum specializing in African Art. I would walk around, look at the art pieces and make up stories that ex…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12710.msg149279#msg149279 date=1324382379] Not really. [/quote] I think what you mean is that people may identify themselves as Christian, but how many are practicing? If that's what u mean, I would agree. …

[quote author=Coptic Soldier link=topic=12702.msg149186#msg149186 date=1324208961] A video I put together to help push the issue to the secular market. Was one of the most upsetting videos I have put together. [/quote] Can you remove the music? …

The Islamist groups in Egypt were always expected to do well. The revolution had good intentions, but as they say : "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". Islam, for one more time, will carve its mark in the side of the Coptic Orthodox C…

Thanks everyone for your responses. Do you have these in English?

Well, let's be honest here. If you've read the rantings of a sand monkey (Mahmoud Salem), you'd see that indeed what Sawiris has been saying is not far from the truth. Copts are quite alienated from their society. They tend to stick within their o…

[quote author=Biboboy link=topic=12604.msg147992#msg147992 date=1322245161] Agape, First of all, get the facts straight. The make-shift hospital happens to be in a Presbyterian church, not in an Orthodox church. You can read about it here: http:/…

[quote author=peter_saad link=topic=12604.msg147987#msg147987 date=1322234223] This a big problem in theCoptic church..We're becoming way too tolerant. People are taking 'turn the other cheek' too far. We're being kicked around like dogs. I'm not sa…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12596.msg147899#msg147899 date=1322052798] Let me simplify things: 1. There are not going to be any elections...just an appearance of an election. 2. There will be no Coptic seats won...because Copts don't …

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12575.msg147588#msg147588 date=1321466946] No musical instruments should be played during liturgical prayers. [/quote] I think we had a discussion about this issue ages ago. I raised it. Fr. Peter Farrington expla…

OK.. look this thread is getting out of hand. I just asked a simple question, and I got the answer. I feel that as a Church, we cannot go off and disagree with Bishops who make statements like H.G. Bishop Youssef concerning Halloween. We are all One…

Its great to see that you are all very Orthodox. I cannot say that I understand totally the spiritual context of All Saints Day. As you all correctly point out, its not an orthodox feast (as far as I know). I still respect the idea of the Catholi…

[quote author=TITL link=topic=12513.msg146873#msg146873 date=1320079601] Thoxsasi, I think the church should teach was it right, and leave everyone to do as they wish. But I don't agree with having an alternative (all saint's day) for the Satanic f…
