  • [quote author=TITL link=topic=8833.msg110707#msg110707 date=1266350900] I've only seen priests prostrate before bishops. Mina, what do you mean here: [quote author=minagir link=topic=8833.msg110705#msg110705 date=1266350418] the people do metania …
  • [quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8833.msg110704#msg110704 date=1266349793] How common is that practice, minagir? I have seen some Copts prostrate themselves before my bishop, but not many, not even in Egypt. Father Peter [/quote] it's VER…
  • Actually, Fr. Peter I was talking about the metania, the prostration that is done towards a Bishop out of respect.....that is so in our Coptic Church. normally, people don't argue the kissing of the hand thingy because it's a sign of respect in the …
  • CertifiedOrthodox, What do you think of metanias to bishops? In general of course...it's maybe different with you being a girl....
  • [quote author=CertifiedOrthodox link=topic=8788.msg110681#msg110681 date=1266326676] [quote author=coptic youth link=topic=8788.msg110680#msg110680 date=1266326411] You kiss the hands of the priest, as he holds the Lords body and blood. Simple. [/q…
  • This is a lot to comment on, but i'll try to keep it brief. first, i didn't see the comment on Ti-shori el-hazayne before, so i'll say my opinion here. [quote author=ophadece link=topic=8808.msg110649#msg110649 date=1266269778] There is one questio…

  • Btw, if this about the word of saint Gregory's liturgy, don't try....i think they did their best to have a proper translation that keeps God's divinity and portrait it to the people in a good way. 
  • [quote author=deaconmark123 link=topic=8826.msg110650#msg110650 date=1266270630] Who makes these books? i really want to email them and tell them i cant stand this new english, does anyone have an email address i can email because its hard to follow…
  • [quote author=the_least link=topic=8826.msg110642#msg110642 date=1266258648] I would love to get a hold of that CD [/quote] all tracks can be found here: http://seraphimchorus.com/english_resp.html
  • Justice should be done despite the peoples forgiveness or not. Another thing that i wanted to comment on is "turning the other cheek" the prober understanding of that command is not to let the other person SIN after he already done so, considering…
  • The text that must be used is the text of the Southern diocese liturgy book. There was a CD done many years ago when the book was published that had the recording of the responses constructed on the Coptic way. HH so that must be followed.
  • No. The whole liturgy is not annual. The lent rite begins from the gospel response. Whatever is before that in that liturgy is annual.
  • [quote author=christ_rose link=topic=8808.msg110606#msg110606 date=1266199640] so now what do u suggest? i am learning the long sherat should i learn both allelouias with adn without the response? And what are the differences betweent the two? is o…
  • Maher made it clear that the recording is not available now. why does Ibo only records, simply because other cantors havn't heard or if they did, they didn't want to record it....NOT MUCH record things anyway..... i still wana hear that interview,…

  • Actually ALL PSALIES have to be that way. it's like the definition of a coptic psali. The only exception, or more like twisted way of the rule is some of the psalies are sorted on the alphabet backwords...like the Adam Nayrouz psali. Another thing t…
  • Most of egyptian parents have this mentality. They just want the best for their children....and normally marriage bring what's best....not directly but it's the main safe step where the responsibility of you, being a female, is now burdened on someo…
  • [quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8804.msg110557#msg110557 date=1266102281] I thought that St Kyrillos, the Pillar of Orthodoxy, is St Cyril of Alexandria from the 5th century? Father Peter [/quote] Yes. Kyrillos is Cyril in arabic,
  • [quote author=sodr2 link=topic=8804.msg110542#msg110542 date=1266054413] Whoa whoa whoa.............. All this time I thought Pope Kyrillos VI was a saint! What about all these miracles I'm hearing and reading through his intercessions? [/quote] I …
  • [quote author=Michael Boutros link=topic=4292.msg110535#msg110535 date=1266035082] I want to bring this up again because it wasn't really clearly answered. Ibrahim Ayad clearly has a recording of the Lenten Psalm Response: http://tasbeha.org/media/i…
  • [quote author=Ηεζεκιελ link=topic=8804.msg110450#msg110450 date=1265933603] You are speaking about Icons?? Pope Kriyllos is mentioned in the commemoration of saints by many priests.There is already a church named after Pope Kriyllos and St Mina!!! …
  • OK....as simply as i can put it: The recording of this, i think, the original was recorded by M.Tawfik for the Pentecost Feast. I am saying I THINK because i need to confirm with my recordings which are back home and I am in my dorm. THIS RECORDING…
  • You are confusing some things that I'll discuss latter in a post.

  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=8804.msg110385#msg110385 date=1265848019] Who did he study under? [/quote] it looks like he studied under Isaac Fanous at some point of time. A lot of his icons are kind of copied from Isaac's.
  • Can i ask a question please, and it is in all due respect and seriousness: Why do you generalize the thought that by preaching to other or trying to get to them, being orthodox and them being ANYTHING and not only of any other denomination, we accep…
