I am too attached to the my heresy, the iPhone :P
I, too, would be attached to a device if I spent nearly half my fortune buying it ;)
Literally the only thing iPhone beats Android in is it's camera. Enjoy your selfies, Minas!
Anyway, how do I get…
I am not a youth and I left the church, is there a survey for me? Oh, I am not Egyptian so I don't technically count lol.
Ioa, come back!!!! :(
Ioannes,
Hey - why did you leave the Church? What happened?
What counts as "leaving the Church" in t…
I'm thinking the lighting will reflect off the laminated picture making it hard to see for some people in the back? Not sure...
Thanks for the idea though! I'm looking at different printing offices right now for the lowest price :)
"The Savior comes in various forms to each man for his profit. For to those who have need of gladness He becomes a Vine; and to those who want to enter in He stands as a Door; and to those who need to offer up their prayers He stands a mediating Hig…
The good servant receives the bread of his labour with confidence; the lazy and slothful cannot look his employer in the face.
St. Clement of Rome, late first century.
Can you explain this one?
Unfortunately our culture doesn't think mental health is as important as physical health. A lot of Egyptians think you can just "snap out of it", but that's not true. You have an illness you cannot control on your own, just like someone with type 1 …
Zoxsasi,
If you have time, I highly recommend Dr. Jeannie Constantinou's "Search the Scripture" podcast. She goes in depth (I think about 5 lectures) talking about creation in Genesis and what the fathers of our church say, esp Chrysostom. You'll f…
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...
Wait. Is that not your website, RO? I always though…
I personally think that the youth who stay in church are the youth who were raised in church from a very young age. I believe the parents play a huge factor in this. Go to any Coptic church and you'll find that the youth who were consistent in atten…
Beekay,I have to disagree with your first answers."Were Adam and Eve literal? Likely not.Was there a literal fall? Likely not."
I have a very hard time believe such an intellectual person like St Paul would mention Adam multiple times if Adam did n…
Sorry to bring this back up again but a few people back here in Church are starting a violent opposition to evolution and I am trying to show that on a scientific basis it is tenable and on a theological basis it does not undermine our faith.
You ca…
but the Antiochians don't use 'songs' for worship or in the 'spiritual' part of youth meetings, etc.
Are we the only Orthodox church that use spiritual songs?
What really bothers me is this increasing Protestant theology that salvation came through the Resurrection. This is blatantly against the fathers. Salvation and reconciliation began at the incarnation, came on Good Friday, continues through our live…
@TITL
(if there was ever a committee I am CERTAIN they would approve Truly Risen and Very Early Sunday Morning).
Then Rem will need to be in the committee!!!
All I'm saying is that it's an idea. Probably far-fetched, but I'm hoping this will happe…
Well, ever since the oopnevma vs pipnevma issue, I felt like I needed to appreciate and learn more about our language. ;)
Also in addition to this, I also gave two books on Bohairic and Sahidic Coptic as gifts to a friend. Years from now, if we ev…
Because people like emotionally enthusiastic songs over boring Coptic notes

Is this a response to my post? I didn't mention Coptic hymns.
Charismatic is the term, and @titl you can refer to the other thread on that..
oujai khan…
Sorry for resurrecting an old thread (no pun intended.. Well maybe a little intended..), but reading Doc Rem's post on Truly Risen and Very Early Sunday Morning really got me thinking. First of all, I never thought twice about these songs before, so…
