Hola,
Su investigacion es de Dios y su corazon es muy bien. Esta muy triste que no esta una iglesia copta orthodoxa en Costa Rica. Pero, se puedes vivir como los padres del desierto--la misma amor, la misma passion por Dios. Estamos todos pecado…
I'm sorry if this seems selfish and demanding, but please: Father Peter, if you have time or already have them prepared, could you record some podcasts about some more basic faith issues?
I know a lot of youth are struggling with questions as basic…
Ah ok well he may have left his family for those journeys, I concede. I just associate the word "ditching" with abandonment--I just misunderstood what you were saying. Also, my reference definitely was out of context- good point. [quote author=ai…

I wonder if the apostles and disciples ditched their families for the ministry?

I can't believe that the disciples would "ditch" their families, so to speak.…

I have two male friends (older than myself) who have chosen this path. They are so much closer to the Lord, as a result. Although one of them complains to me of loneliness…
irishpilgrim:
thank you so much for your kind words, advice, and guidance--they mean so much to me! I will work hard to learn and embrace the gift that God has given us! I will pray for you, and ask that you do the same! :)
Oh ok sorry to have mistakenly called it an ordination! But thank you all for the description and the video!
One more thing: I know that being becoming a deacon or chanter is a gift from God and a responsibility. I want to perform this service…
I'm an adult pursuing an undergraduate degree, although this independent study is closer to graduate-level work. My budget is essentially unlimited because this study is being funded by a grant, which would reimburse me for book costs.

Sadly, I know only English :( not much of a scholar in that sense I guess...
My interests are fairly wide-ranging. I don't have a favorite time period really, partially because I haven't been able to do as much of this type of studying as I'd lik…
childoforthodoxy,
I agree with TITL and thank you--you write very eloquently and powerfully about faith and how to live it. It was a blessing to read and meditate upon some of the things you brought to mind. But forgive me--my mind is still not a…
When do you need them by and what for?--just out of curiousity.
And please be patient with us- personally, I'll be sending something to you, but I just haven't been able to get it all together yet. I think other people are in a similar situation r…
Can anyone find an English translation/transcript of this (or something else in which Pope Shenouda talks about the Mubarak/the current situation) anywhere? It's tough to understand what H.H. is really saying from everyone's comments...
Thanks in …
I am too! Don't look down on me because I'm a newbie! lol :)
Although I am a relatively quiet member of this fellowship, I am observant. And although you all don't know it, you are constant blessings on my life and sources of strength and inform…
Hey everyone, thanks for the advice and the links! :) Something that is especially helpful for me is having the Coptic lyrics phonetically spelled out with English letters. That enables me to really follow what's being said. It's easier to learn…
Ah the meeting sounds cool- I'll definitely try to make it there sometime! As for Stockton, I really like it. Campus is beautiful, classes are small, faculty is mostly pretty nice. I live and work on campus too (although I assume you'd commute), …
haha, let's pray that we get more 'minority' copts in the future! I predict that there will be more and more. As we make the Church more and more Anglophone-accessible, they're going to come in droves- that's my hope and prayer, anyway :)
But an…
