Although I have not visited very many Coptic Orthodox churches the first one I attended was St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church in Raleigh, NC. As someone who is not Egyptian or Orthodox I was somewhat nervous about whether or not I would be welcomed…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10241.msg130056#msg130056 date=1297180436] Spiritual death does not mean that the spirit of man ceases to exist. It means that man has lost the grace of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit which is our t…

Thank you all for your responses and advice. Although I grew up Protestant, I hold "Church membership" in high esteem. I have no desire to "Church hop" as many among Protestant, Evangelicals do here in the U.S. This is the reason for my hesitatio…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10839.msg131673#msg131673 date=1298762494] You would also be able to receive the sacraments in any Oriental Orthodox church, not only Coptic. Where are you thinking of studying? Is it somewhere remote? [/quote] …

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10626.msg129843#msg129843 date=1297021915] Seriously, we should find hope in God each day, not in trying to make prophecies fit particular events. I grew up in a Protestant community that did this all the time.…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=10617.msg129669#msg129669 date=1296856005] I would like to contrast the CNN interview with Choudry vs. the FOX News interview with Hannity. Hannity is in a lot more command and is able to call Choudry out on i…

I have a feeling that if Mubarak steps down now you will have a "more" secular government to form. However, it Mubarak remains defiant and refuses to leave before September, then this revolt may take on an Islamic identity. http://latimesblogs.lat…

The violence that erupted today was due to the Mubarak regime and his supporters. Notice how there were no acts of violence by the protesters up until the Mubarak supporters came in to Tahrir Square today and began beating and assaulting the protes…

If you knew the background of Anjem Choudrey you wouldn't even give him a second thought. Choudrey is on the far extreme of Islamic thinking and, pardon my rudeness, a big mouth living in British. He is just a mouthpiece of absurd and asinine ideo…

[quote author=epiphania link=topic=10572.msg128966#msg128966 date=1296430031] I disagree with you abu Muqawama. I don't think el barad3i will be good at all. firstly, because he's spent so much time outside of egypt. he doesn't have a real connectio…

I have had a very bad history with Dell computers. This past fall I began graduate school and needed a new laptop as my old one was not up to par. I was able to buy a Toshiba for about $400 (US) and it is a great laptop.

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10572.msg128867#msg128867 date=1296357765] Mubarek is supported by US and Jews alike. This is why Obama is taking such a sissy stance, which will end up hurting us in the long run. Amazing how you can be a dictator a…
