So that we might be able to gain some resources for instruction and edification, which Abouna or Bishop do you enjoy listening to?
I enjoy listening to Father Anthony Messeh and Father Bishoy Andrawes of St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Washington, DC. (www.orthodoxsermons.org)
I also enjoy listening to HG Bishop Moussa...he has such a gentle and kind spirit.

Peace.
I really like to listen to HG Bishop Youssef too :)
This will lead you to the a page that says a new website is under construction, and direct you to the "old" site but you can access the sermons there... Some are in Arabic, some in English.. I get really confused.. but I'm telling you all now, our 3 priests are the best sermon speakers ever... so go hard downloading whatever you can get from our church website... I suggest the passion week sermons... but you can only listen to them during passion week... enjoy.
Cheers
Our churches in and around Mississauga:St. Mary & St. Athanasius, St. Philopateer & St. Anthony, St. Mina & Pope Kyrillos, 7 altars, St. Paul & St. Peter, St. Maximos & St. Domadios, St. George & St. Abanoub, The Valley of the Mother of God are very blessed to have 12 priest: Fr. Angelos, Fr. Maximos, Fr. Gawargious, Fr. Domadios, Fr. Botros, Fr. Pishoy, Fr. Makari, Fr. Paul, Fr. Luke, Fr. David, Fr. Mina, Fr. Kyrillos.
They all have really good sermons but Abouna Pishoy Wasfy is mainly responsable for the youth of the church; sermons, activities, trips...
I also have experience with Abouna Antonios Tanios, Abouna Mark from New Jersey (I think), Abouna Boulos George, and Abouna Dawood Lamey came to our church but i could serve with him or hear his sermons.
If any of you wish, you could listen to them at http://www.cccnet.ca/Audio-Video/Live/live.htm
God bless all our priest who are part of the growing of our faith.
Pray for me and all of them,
Cyril
Also, there was this other Abouna who came to my church during the Feast of St. Mary...he was from Giza, and he gave an extremely nice (and insightful) sermon about why we hold St. Mary in such high regard. I just can't remember is name at the moment (which is driving me crazy!)
Abouna David Milad from St. Mary's Baltimore is pretty much, the MAN.
I 2nd that....we need to get him on orthodoxsermons.org!

My most favorite is actually H.G. Anba Rofail and I also love Abouna Louka Sidarous from California.
Pistavros, I couldnt agree more! H.G. Anba Rofail is my favorite right after H.H. Pope Shenouda <-- I can't believe he wasn't mentioned yet. He is amazing!
Abouna Louka Sidarous also has very nice sermons; deep, simple, and easy to understand even for those that are lingually retarted in arabic like myself ;D
- This is off topic but by any chance do you know/ heard his son Arsani? - AWESOME in hymns, their meaning, prayer.. everything!
Dr. Magdy is definitely pretty awesome! The topic of Psychology as a whole interests me and he presents it in a very pleasant manner that's entertaining and easy to understand.

Yes he is!! Recordings are a complete underestimation of him. I attended a liturgy with him for the first time a few weeks ago and it was just breath taking. God willing, I look forward to attending Kiahk with him this week! ;D

Stavrofors, yes, Anba Rofail is really gifted when it comes to explaining the church & hymns rights; I really love how he simplifies the most complex things in Theology and our church tradition.

Indeed, Arsani is the man. And yes, I completely agree with Stavroforos, listening to a live Liturgy or Tasbeha by Arsani is completely different from the recordings. Simply put, he is AWESOME.
I actually fell in love with Tasbeha and the Coptic hymns because of Arsani and ended up learning all of them him, especially the live recordings.
So you can actually watch tasbehat Kiahk live from home!
