there are strong discord servers that are oriental orthodox. Lion's Den which is a discord and youtube channel (run by Daniel Kakish who is a subdeacon of the Syriac Orthodox church). Orthodox Christianity discord server as well. There are a bunch o…

Thanks minamakar.

In "apetjeek", what are the lyrics for multiple bishops?Here's my guess (probably way off):"ere pismoo innee-episkopos neniotee etai-out nee-etkee neman"
-
I also heard something about the priest taking the gospel to each person in the church to have them kiss it while the tawafs are chanted.
-
God bless you Meena that is really helpful.

makes sense because tishori just explains what taishori says
-
so if you have a bishop of the diocese do you single him out even if there are other bishops and some who may be senior?
-
Anyone have a source that states in what order we honor the pope, metropolitans, diocese bishops, and bishops? I heard that if you have 2 metropolitans you honor both. If you have 3 or more you group them. Same with bishops. Now if you have 3 metrop…

Know that you are not alone. You may have a fear now, but with time you will find that the love you discover in God will overcome any fear you have. You may not understand this now, but if you continue to pursue this feeling, you will find overflowi…

Thanks again Tobit. Fr. Tadros Malaty's book "Introduction to the Coptic Church" is one of those rare references that defends Dioscorus. For anyone looking for that defense, it is found in pgs 69-101. The west needs more like this in the English lan…
-
wow thank you Tobit. I thought Pope Dioscorus writings didn't even exist. Are there more than the 2 documents on the website even in coptic? I always wanted to learn more about him from the oriental point of view because almost everything out there …

are Fr Athanasius' books translated?
-
In psalm 50 we say "Ifnoutee inte tasotereya" meaning God (in coptic) of my salvation (in greek). Interestingly in the same prayer we say "Moi ney imipthelel nte bekojai" meaning Give me the joy of your salvation (fully in coptic). Also, I was told …

Any project to translate to english? This is a great resource.
-
In "Defte Pantes" where we say "Shere metherthe o cotiria" (the 7th paragraph) the translations usually say "Hail to the mother of our Savior," but doesn't it mean "Hail to the mother of Salvation?"
-
He is but there are some serious security concerns so unfortunately details are staying among the priests as much as possible. Apparently there were some threats against his holiness when he visited Canada. If any details show up online, I'd recomme…

Hey Tobit, somehow that statement was misquoted as me saying it. That is a quotation from Gay4XC.
-
Hey Gay4XC,I understand what you are saying in that we cannot fully understand the struggles a person goes through unless we are in their shoes and are going through the exact same thing. Also, it is not for us to judge, but that is for the Lord. In…

Honestly there is so much media bias, probably to get more viewership and clicks on a controversial article, it's really mind boggling how it was permitted to get this far. I mean I've seen articles titled "Homosexuality gene found" interpreting res…

haha i know sorry. Focus on the first part lol.

For those of you who are trying to learn more about the science behind homosexuality, here is a nice video that outlines it well. I still recommend doing your own research.
-
Ok I understand where you are coming from. I see now that you are pointing out that other aspects outside of the bible were neglected in his speech. Although his lecture simply stated our biblical stance, I believe that we can use it to build upon a…
-
You are right in that to approach this we must put in front of us the phrase "hate the sin, love the sinner." I couldn't agree more. You are also right in saying that the argument of "against nature" may be weak, however, it goes both ways. We have …
-
Because he only focused on the biblical aspect? Yea I'm with mina, you have to be more specific. I think it was his job as a leader to take a biblical approach to it to firmly show our stance. Also, "WORST?"

Pope Shenouda's Prophecy: at 20:48 http://orthodoxsermons.org/sermons/coptic-orthodox-view-homosexuality "If there were an attempt to make such acts lawful, it would be a disaster. If we change something shameful and worthy of penalty, somethin…

Guys we as the Coptic Church have been oppressed for a long time. We haven't been able to evangelize like we did in the first few centuries. From the 7th century until now, evangelism was almost non existent with us because of persecution. Unfortuna…

Can anyone explain more about this website?: http://englishhymnscommittee.org/sample-page/ Anyone involved in this project? If so, is there some sort of timeline?
-
hey dg920 anyway we can have access to those manuscripts? What exactly are they, how old are they, is there an author?
-
Taken from Adam's side.... Could it be old testament vernacular for binary fission?

Anyone know if any projects are underway in terms of unifying at least North America? It seems like there is a Canadian way, North Eastern way, SUS way. Or is it a lost cause?
