Dear minasoliman,Let the increase of English happen eventually on its own. We shouldn't catalyze the movement too quickly, especially with such a high flux of people coming from Egypt and there is already currently a high population of Egyptian immi…
Dear minasoliman,It is most definitely a facade...you're speaking extremely idealistically. I'm talking about completely English liturgies and our church has been doing it for at least 2 years now and nobody chants along...it's literally maybe only …
Dear metouro,I agree with a lot of what you said. However, I go to completely white-washed liturgies where Arabic has been completely eliminated and now people are pushing for English to an extreme as if it's a mission church and the Coptic becomes …

Rem and RO,Clearly you both have misunderstood the point of my post...my post was written very simply on purpose...I am not concrete. It was unnecessary that you each wrote lengthy responses which convoluted the context of my post. If you understood…
To be honest, it's ironic that people can have so much hatred-morphed judgment about people and still think they are validated since they have a lot of support from others. This is incorrect. Maybe Abouna has problems in his interpretations or conte…
Well, the different committees of the Holy Synod met between Monday and Wednesday and they concluded with a general meeting of the Holy Synod on Thursday. However, the only decision that has really gone public was by the rites committee under Bishop…
Congratulations to H.G. Bishop David, it's a well-deserved rank for 14 years of devout and blessed service! I was wondering if there is any other news for the U.S.?
