Is the poster PeterFarrington a priest? Sorry. I did not know and he definitely did not act as one.
Your Reverence,
If you cannot handle public forums and you are ashamed of your identity, then do not participate in them and be careful not to misr…
EO are under anathema since the 5th century. I didn't read any statement from the COC that the BOC are heretics.
Seems you have personal conflicts with the BOC and therefore the negativity and obvious double standard. Shameful for a priest.
Rather than condemning the BOC, we could at least extend the same courtesy to them as the EO. The EO are under anathema because of heresy, yet we do not question their Orthodoxy. At least the BOC is not found guilty of heresy. It is of course easier…
Seek your dad's advice first and foremost, then the advice of your spiritual guide and also the father of confession of your potential fiancée. It is important to have a second opinion about the person.
The close relations that ethnic Copts enjoy i…
I do not think the title Anba is reserved only for bishops. I think it could be used in an honorific manner.
For example, St Anthony is commonly referred to as Anba and it is unlikely he was ever ordained to any rank of priesthood.
I think the s…
Thank you for the translation, MeenaSamy.
Is the belief that demons can have intimate relations with humans accepted in the Coptic Church?
Minasoliman and Returnorthodoxy,
Is your opinion about his reverence based on his teachings or his charact…
Remnkemi,
There are no boundaries between the dioceses in Britain, as HE Metropolitan Seraphim presides over a diocese that encompasses Britain, and the coptic bishops on the same island have jurisdiction on different parts of the same geographical…
What diocese is Fr Peter transferring to or from? It seems to me that there are no rigid boundaries in Britian between one Orthodox diocese and the other to warrant an appeal to canons.
There is some confusion in my mind about the whole situation …
@ Zoxasi
I do not need to accept any theory as a fact as long as it lacks proof from my point of view. I was hoping you could show this undisputed evidence rather than refer me to another poster, regardless of his level of knowledge. It is you who …
@ minatasgeel
Thank you for your intervention.
I must say that I am disappointed that a conference of such importance has been intentionally under publicized, in many areas in North America and in Egypt, and that it has taken place to begin with …
@ zoxasi
Your analogy between evolution and the gravitational force and acceleration is a good example of a difference between a scientific fact, demonstrated and measured in the lab and in reality beyond doubt, and a theory or hypothesis like evol…
@ Khepra
Happy you found a bit of amusement in my posts, because I found none in yours.
I asked for some background information about this conference because the discussion points are surprising to me. I cannot believe the church is discussing a …
@qawe
If it is universal knowledge except in my tiny church, there must be online material to back it up.
Kindly refer me to any official announcements and to this alleged recording of His Holiness The Pope.
@zoxasi
Good for you.
Scientific facts need extensive experimental or observational validation, which is missing in the case of the theory of evolution. This is why any respected scientist, just looking at the concrete facts, will refer to this th…
It is getting even more doubtful. There is nothing Coptic next door to the monastery of St. Paul, except St Anthony monastery. There are only exotic 7 stars resorts next to the monastery. Probably your local priests are just taking a vacation in Egy…
When was this conference announced? Who announced it?
Where is the agenda of the conference with the alleged discussion points? Changing the calendar and introducing songs in the liturgy seems far fetched.
Make sure you are not praying for a phan…
How long is this process of divorce. I can't be in this relationship anymore. He left the house.what do I do? How do I get a divorce?
Present your case to the newly formed clerical council in North America.
If I am not mistaken, I think there h…
Do you have anything to substantiate your claim that I'm an invalid? Or you do like to come to forums being useless and insulting people?
To add to @minasoliman's question to you, @Kahan:
Apart from the heterodox ecclesiology you seem to hold, do …
HH Pope Shenouda was a product of scholastic theology gone the wrong direction in both Protestant and Islamic schools of thought. The idea that we cannot partake or unite with God has been strong among Protestant (particularly Nestorianizing) and I…
Mina, You are asking for something way bigger than it may seem. This is a huge field that only a few (who must possess the ability to read in a few key languages) can really benefit from, enter into, or contribute to.
At any rate, here is a docume…
