I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the apostolic in-your-face method of preaching as "incompatible with our times." It was no less compatible with their times. They were just as unwelcome in pagan temples and Jewish synagogues as we would be in a mos…

Hi Mina, I don't disagree with you. Hence my reservation to making a judgement, and preference to remain silent given the importance of economia in the interpretation of the canons. Love you and miss you, RO

Hi Mina, "If any clergymen, or laymen, enter [emphasis mine] a synagogue of Jews, or of heretics, to pray, let him be both deposed and excommunicated." - Canon 65 of the Holy Apostles "Let any Bishop, or Presbyter, or deacon that merely joins in pr…

Facts. Lets kill the discussion. Ain't nobody here attending that church anyways with the newly enthroned Bishop Angelos down the road :) Mans not hot, RO

Bro if you're gonna come this far and close to giving some details, go for it. Any guy with a laptop can assume what you're saying. Do you have specifics? Are you gonna hit us with them? RO

"Why don't we have a bishop of obese Copts" Here I am Lord, send me! (Isaiah 6:8) Real talks tho, Rem, you took the nail. Then you took Thor's hammer. Then you dropped the hammer on the nail's head. We like to think that these canons have zero prac…

"Oh. So you're taking the stance of "lets not follow this rule just because we are not following this other one"...I get you..." Bro you're better than this. Don't cop out. He's raising a question as to how authority is voiced in the church. He put …

AN, Thanks you very much for your well thought out answer! I appreciate your time and care to respond. Please see my responses below to continue this discussion! I agree. That said, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III and the Coptic Orthodox Holy Synod …

One of the more interesting posts I am reading! Thank you AN and Haymanotabew! I think that most of us have not heard a decent defence for the situation in the EOTC. I also strongly believe it is important to have the facts as interpreted by the opp…

See you there!

Fr. Peter, I don't think anyone supposes to know more about the details of the relationship between the Coptic Church and the British Church than a Coptic Priest hailing from the British Church. I think what we are speaking about is just a matter o…

This priest is nothing to be referred to. He is, in my opinion, psychologically ill and in need of strict ecclesiastic rebuke. I'm trying to be mild in my choice of words to describe this man. Stay away from him. If you'd like to learn about demons,…

And you need to be a little more substantial than coming in, making a statement, and then walking out like a goof saying y'all need some Phenomenology.

Im saying there is a problem with the transfer of Bishops AND of priests. And just like Fr. Peter supported my view when it opposed the seating of a Bishop as Patriarch, Im sure hell respect the fact that I hold the same principle regarding his "tra…

Im a little confused. Who's his Bishop? The article says he will be under the supervision of the patriarchate. But this form of ecclesiastical structure is something Fr. Peter was always against... He changed from Met Seraphim to Pope Tawadros. He'…

"You can't talk about black liberation and history without being a black person who has experienced oppression and re-write the history written by white men. You can't talk about feminist theology without being a woman who has experienced growing up…

Worst treatise on homosexuality ever.

May I interject and ask some questions here, to bring the issue back into perspective? I hope I'm not Hijacking so Ill hop on, and get gone fast. Essentially, a lived theology is more telling of a church than a written one, and, so, while our Coptic…

I like this Tobit character

On a serious note, Athanasius Henein isn't really a genius. Lots of built of resentment that gets in the way of his reasoning. He's quite detestable if you ask me. Do some research. Ill respond later. In the mean time, others will discuss with you, …

They hate us cuz they aint us!

LOL, Cyril, If you +1000 all the posts you like, why don't you just be normal and just +1 the posts you like. Or just start a scoring method. For example, I think Minasolimans post was really just about a +984 :PRay

^For the simple (and good) that the distinction does not exist. As a fan and lover of Abouna Athanasius Iskander, I have to say that the article does little for the topic. Theosis or Theopoesis (if you so insist) is not a theology of words.

Strength, MiarcleSeek! I've been reading your posts and those of everyone responding. I have been an will continue to pray for you. I can only imagine your pain. I hopeGod gives you peace. Take it day by day and continue to reach out to us and to th…
