Coptic is the Pharoes’ name for “Egyptian,“ a little appreciated echo of the fact that all of Egypt was once a Coptic, Christian nation. For seven centuries Egypt was a Christian nation, until the Arab Islamic invasion in the seventh century. When P…

mabsoota, I am surprised you were persecuted in a small town. I assumed there would have been more acceptance of Christians in small towns in England, much like in the States. I think the smaller the town is in the States, the more likely you are…

[quote author=mnc_hnn link=topic=14568.msg165582#msg165582 date=1375905305] When people ask me and find out that I am Egyptian and Christian, they can't believe that there are Christians in Egypt and they ask whether I used to be Muslim and converte…

Oh, cool. I'd say it's pretty similar here. People usually think we're talking about Orthodox Judaism when we say we're Eastern Orthodox ??? Most people here think we believe the same things as Roman Catholics, so if they are trying to argue wit…

Here is a link to a lot of resources that are unavailable elsewhere: http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/index.htm Hopefully most of the links are active. Someone passed it along on these forums in another thread, so I thought I'd do the same.

[quote author=Christs' servant link=topic=14536.msg165412#msg165412 date=1373505937] I think it's awesome! In that particular pic of Fr John with HH, he was presenting to Sayedna St. Vlads Seminary's annual report. Fr John even gave a talk in th…

Just thought I'd bump this thread to see if anyone wants to help out. Again, I don't want anyone spilling all the juicy details of their prayer rule. You can always just say, "Some guy I know prays this, this, and that" or something like that. Th…

Thank you! Straight to the iPod!

I would tend to agree with Servos. If the person is not a Christian in the first place, I doubt they would take kindly to your comments about their lifestyle. I guess you can try, God works whenever He pleases, but for the most part I think the pe…

Lord have mercy. EO and OO Bishops with the opportunity to earn their heavenly crowns simultaneously, perhaps. But let's still pray and keep hope for their safety.

[quote author=irishpilgrim link=topic=14368.msg164273#msg164273 date=1366561591] So, as in every circumstance that I am aware, except regarding traditional Orthodox Apostolic gender and family theology, the Coptic Church routinely believes and pract…

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14368.msg164274#msg164274 date=1366564172] Find Christ, not conspiracy. Find Christ, not a reason to hate women. Find Christ. Find Christ. Find Christ. [/quote] I gotta agree with you on that one.

Welcome to the forums, Chris+! And just on a quick side note, I wanted to thank mabsoota for this: [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=14281.msg163427#msg163427 date=1361375933] the coptic orthodox church is extra special for me as we have here centu…

[quote author=RamezM link=topic=14368.msg164171#msg164171 date=1365694547] Another evidence that the Coptic church did observe this practice is from The History of the Patriarchs by Severus of Ashmunein (Hermopolis). In the story of Pope Christodou…

I would LOVE to be upset, but I don't think it's possible! :) In fact that's why I'm here, but nobody's done it yet! I'm serious.
