Hi Mabsoota, I'm also interested in ILSM's questions, and would love to know the answer, but could you also tell us how your parents became Christian? You said that they "lived without religion". So, your parents are both British? Why then do you…

Deaconmark, The news i've been reading is that Al Qaeda have been asking all "zealous" muslims (i.e. those that love to please allah) to attack our churches until we release the wives of the priests. Obviously we're not holding anyone captive, an…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9861.msg121537#msg121537 date=1288367770] I understand your post, Zoxasi. But it seems to me that there is a difference between someone being nice and someone being completely Christian. I have met nice peop…

You're welcome Christ's servant. Actually, Fr. Peter gave me the idea of getting people who don't have mortgages to go and research the questions themselves. Well done, and I hope you gained a lot from it as much as I have.

Well, I walked into this church in Cairo - shoubra during the Holy Communion. There were deacons there (Dressed up like us), and they were singing Psalm 150 (like us, same tune more or less).. and then they went to "Layl ol 3assha2 al serrie.. " (i…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=9921.msg121485#msg121485 date=1288281238] I think it would annoy you rightly so, as well as Bshp Angelos if they adopt it as theirs. I was thinking that they should pray using our hymns, but acknowledge that they ar…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=9921.msg121480#msg121480 date=1288279795] In fact that makes me happy. That is an indirect message for them of the beauty of the Coptic hymns (even when translated), as you can see. Let them use it in their churches…
