  • Thank you Mabsoota!
  • Can someone explain me are Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church (Paulose II) and Jacobite Syrian Christian Church (Thomas I) in communion with Coptic Church? If yes, why we have two Malankara churches in the same area?

  • Why Tigray from Eritrea wanted separation from Tigray in Ethiopia? Was not better to be in one state?
  • Do heads of Churches in communion with Coptic Patriarchate have some synaxis (council, meeting) from time to time? Coptic, Armenian, Malankara, Syriac, Ethiopian... Did all of the patriarchs served the Liturgy together in last decades?

  • The Slavs (Russians, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenians, Croats, Serbs and Bulgarinas) were in the 9th century, when we recieved Christianity, one nation. We were not divided like nowdays. Have in mind that Romanians are NOT Slavs. The enlighters …

  • I googled a little bit Coptic icons. How much I can see all apostles and saints, including Christ, are with short beard. Just desert monks have a long one. http://beforeitsnews.com/christian-news/2013/02/some-english-coptic-icons-2468458.html http:…
  • [quote author=ShareTheLord link=topic=14452.msg164880#msg164880 date=1369937067] Why have a beard at all then? [/quote] It is a tradition. Not dogma.
  • I like when priests and monks have a short beard. They represent our Church and should be tidy and neat. In middle ages all males had a beard. That was such a time. It is not a dogma but custom.
