So the hymn is composed of 6 sections parts A are all from the hymn tentheeno from midnight praise an…
If we've taken all these hymns that are supposed to chanted after the synxarium and chanted them during communion then why haven't we done it with everything? Specifically meghalo. I think it's a fitting communion hymn because of its focus on Christ…

I have a question about veneration during communion hymns. Recently, I've heard a lot of people say that it is inappropriate to chant things related to the saints during the distribution because it shifts the focus from the body and blood o…

I cannot speak for His Grace but basing on the fact he made no specific of the tune itself during our conversation it doesn't seem his issue is with the music but with the rite itself. Although, your point is a good one because in the h…
1- I have no idea. It doesn't make sense to me. The only logical conclusion from seeing a signature on a rites book would be that this person is approving of every word in this book.

So it was just about convenience?
What do you mean about it being a violation of the teachings and rituals of the forefathers?
Thank you for your reply.

One day Abba Agathon questioned Abba Alonius saying,
'How can I control my tongue so as to tell no more lies?' And Abba
Alonius said to him, 'If you do not lie, you prepare many sins for
yourself.' 'How is that?' said he. The old man said to him, 'S…
"For God is good—or rather, of all goodness He is Fountainhead, and it is impossible for one who is good to be mean or grudging about anything. Grudging existence to none therefore, He made all things out of nothing through His own Word, our Lord Je…
What is our church's position on free will? As Christians, we have to believe that God possesses the ability to control the world, including things that might interfere with our "will." So the question becomes, does He?
What is even our will? Is it…
