  • Who said ni-ethnos tero is lost?! It is still the beginning of Vespers praise, followed by the Fourth Hoos, the Saints/Feast Psali and maybe the Days psali, the Day's Theotokia, the Commentary if there is one and finally the Conclusion of the Theoto…
  • - I would dress appropriate....semi-formal is good since it's only Saturday night. - You are not really going to be standing in front of the iconostasis directly but i would say the seats for man from the beginning of the church till right before th…
  • well the only reason that Kiahk is that way is because Christmas as at it's end. The sundays readings are structured i believe in a way that there are 3 major topics, one for every 4 months....day's readings do not follow that because they are purel…
  • This is a watos psali for the friday theotkia and is said during kiahk.
  • Tobit, how about it compiling them and sending them to me on pm? I wanna add them here: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/cat/310
  • [quote author=aiernovi link=topic=14644.msg166311#msg166311 date=1382296312] Actually, our church is not part of the Southern Diocese. We had H.G. review it because a number of the people working on the book studied at his seminary in Titusville. We…
  • i don't have any....but remember this: -Epouro -Declaration (similar to the wedding) (with three amens) -Thanksgiving prayer -Khen efran -a prayer (if a priest wants)
  • May I add that St. Basil and Gregory (and just maybe St Cyril) were all originally written in Greek, then translated to coptic and then arabic.
  • [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14672.msg166270#msg166270 date=1381780262] Best place on earth. And this is coming from someone who typically hates everything LOL. Ill PM you with some good info later. Ray [/quote] don't give away TOO MU…
  • Attend, i don't think [it's a bad idea]...take communion and confess and partake of the sacraments....it's not 'wrong' but it's not allowed yet....not before a formal union between the two churches. And if a couple church is only an hour away, trut…
  • [quote author=dthoxsasiPhilanethrope link=topic=14610.msg166247#msg166247 date=1381439207] I don't think you can change a person. Either they naturally become a Christian, like everyone else who is a Christian, or they don't. I mean, a girl may not…
  • [quote author=AntoniousNikolas link=topic=14645.msg166205#msg166205 date=1381188953] [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14645.msg166189#msg166189 date=1381121728] Yes, the Pope is an Archbishop. But he is miles away from his diocese, and is no…

  • [quote author=Mgabby1234 link=topic=14645.msg166200#msg166200 date=1381183575] What are you referring to in Bayonne? [/quote] if you don't know about it then it's better not to talk about it.....
  • LOL...speaking about someone whose not even a citizen of the states....now that I think about it, Anba David might not be either  :) I don't mean to be harsh to Antonius...I guess the recent stupid actions of youth from Bayonne church are gettin me…
  • [quote author=AntoniousNikolas link=topic=14645.msg166185#msg166185 date=1381089536] I wish that New Jersey could've been included in the new diocese.  H.G. Anba David has been our father for more than a decade baptizing us, marrying us, burying our…
  • [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14645.msg166183#msg166183 date=1381080689] Arch-Diocese demands an Arch-Bishop. Not a remote control bishopric from Egypt. The dioceses of the church are not a game of Pacman. You cannot be miles away and gui…
  • [quote author=athanasius piapostolikos link=topic=14645.msg166177#msg166177 date=1380995047] Why is New Jersey remaining as an Archdiocese? I don't understand this concept. People have been saying that it is so the Pope can come and go as he pleases…
  • Now it's official: http://www.copticworld.org/articles/2656/
  • Those questions are very specific and i don't have an answer for. But some churches will simply be separated from the archdiocese and be their own diocese with anba David the bishop... Not just a general bishop.. A seated bishop. There isn't an issu…
  • I have news that are "close to be official" that the Archdiocese will be divided and H.G. will be a set bishop for that new formed diocese.
  • [quote author=drewhalim link=topic=14630.msg166109#msg166109 date=1380527908] I was just stating that there are periods of 'uniqueness' which are exceptions  still begs the question what is the tune for Adam commentaries for the Feasts of the Cros…
  • You are never clear in any way. Just too many words with no objective. I'll try to summarize a response: if you are doing something wrong or right (even though it is never that black and white) you should consider other people's opinion for the sim…
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=14639.msg166128#msg166128 date=1380611289] Dear Mina, baketronos is a Lebanese/Syrian tune not pharaonic. [/quote] are you just saying that because it said in the Shami Tune? Another point I want to make is that …
  • As always, dthoxsasiPhilanethrope, thinks he may be living in a perfect world. mmgsxxxx, some people may frown upon someone getting married to someone who is originally not coptic. These people maybe in different churches anywhere. What i think one…
  • I wasn't planning on responding to this post....but now, why not?! Let me define a liturgical hymn, atleast in my opinion and in very little words: it is text that reflects the faith of the Church (either in rite or doctrine) that is chanted in a w…
