Dancing in itself isn’t wrong- King David, who had a heart like Gods danced and sung around the Tabernacle of the Lord-
It’s the way you dance! n what you provoke/who you cause to sin!
Tell the priest your angry, so next time he knows and he doesn’t hurt anyone else’s feelings. priests are humble they don’t do it on purpose- if you confront the issue chances are he will watch what he says to deacons, or what his actions say

I’m defiantly not the right person to be talking to you about reading the bible because to be honest I can’t do it every single day without struggling or having second thoughts.
Laziness isn’t something that only affects one or two people…
Bad things happen to good people because if life was all rosy and perfect people would not know or understand the true meaning of joy!
Without suffering you cannot understand happiness!
People believe that if life lacks suffering then it will be p…
I’ve said this before in another conversation and ill say it again- everything should be done in moderation! Music in itself is not a sin- King David sung and danced around the tabernacle of the Lord when it was returned to him!

The younger youth constantly have their parents on their back telling them not to date, drink or wear clothing which girls often find ‘in fashion’. Parents believe that by restricting their kids they will grow up to be modest, good Christians. This …

I was told by many people that the Coptic Orthodox Church does not encourage people donating their body parts after death because the church believes that it the body and soul should not be parted. This really confuses me because the body and soul D…
