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?

May we all pray for the Church and for His Holiness every day.

We discussed this some years ago and there was no evidence for it happening. We should not spread rumours and stories.
-
pharoh123, I think you are very gravely mistaken in your view I am afraid. You say... Of course, the Coptic church has a better dogma. That said, why judge them so harshly? I think that this is wrong. The Orthodox Church has TRUE doctrine and the…

I do think we also need to remember that a large proportion of those attending Protestant Churches have been born into families which worship there. They may well be on all manner of spiritual journeys toward God and have to start where they are. B…

Of course. But we should not mistake a made up story for reality.
-
There is never a need to rush. There is not a requirement to go exceeding slowly either. It is not worth celebrating the Liturgy if we are going to rush though.
-
It's not real. It is a story.

I want to have two roller banners. Both will be quite graphical with photos, icons etc. something interesting to attract attention. One will be about local Church information. Where we are, how to find us, when we have the Liturgy, how to find c…

Yes, Arius set his heretical ideas as popular songs using common tunes. So they were like the sort of songs sung in pubs and by workmen, not hymns sung in church. The tunes he used were rejected by Orthodoxy for use in the Church. Cardinal Newman, …

No. It is very clearly indeed NOT a horse as has been explained by many people here. People getting carried away by what they want to see is deception.
-
These are all great ideas and I'll reflect on them. I have also started work on another mission project which I describe on my blog.. http://orthodox-mission.blogspot.com/ This is the project to create two roller banners and have them displayed i…

Anyone who looks at it can confirm with his own eyes IT IS NOT A MIRACLE. Do not be deceived or deceive yourself.

I really appreciate the idea Gregory. But I am not confident about seeking support in such a way. I tend to not want to put myself forward and I can be shy. I want people to support this mission activity simply because it is supporting the Gospel. …

We are developing a new Enquirers Course which you can find described here... http://orthodox-mission.blogspot.com/ And I think it needs a better name than, Orthodox Enquirers Introduction Course. Obviously there is the Protestant 'Alpha course',…
-
A new post has been addded to the Orthodox Mission blog describing a major new project to produce a comprehensive Enquirers Introduction Course entirely from the Oriental Orthodox perspective. Please visit the blog and read what we are doing and co…

May the Lord have mercy on you all.

Dear Aidan, I am not sure what to do really. Which is why I posted here for advice and suggestions as well as prayer and support. I guess I have thought that it would be Coptic Orthodox who would be the main supporters of missionary work by membe…

Believing anything and everything that appears on youtube is not faith and is very harmful. We must not be credulous and should be careful not to expose the Church to criticism because we accept things enthusiastically that are not true.

The BOC takes no money from the Coptic Church. Coptic priests have large congregations of immigrants or are monks. We are missionaries among British people. When many hundreds and thousands have been converted then further mission can pay for itself…

Dear dzheremi, The discouragement I feel is that all that is stopping me from serving the many rather than the one is the lack of support to be able to serve full-time. If a protestant missionary went to Africa he would normally not have to work …

No, dear friend. The newsletter is just to keep those who wish to pray commitedly for our mission informed of our needs and activities. It is free. God bless you Father Peter
-
God bless you Aidan. We have the same vision of an Orthodoxy which is a natural choice for British people. May God grant it in our times.
-
The Lord bless you all. We are up to 12 prayer supporters so far. May your prayers for this service be heard. Father Peter
-
May the Lord richly bless all those who pray and all those who are able to give. I know that my God and the Father of us all will not forget the sacrifice of time in prayer and the sacrifice of financial support. To all those who would like to sup…

The trouble is that I am NOT accomplishing more than I thought I could. I am accomplishing a lot less than is on my heart to do. There are 400 people over the last couple of years in the UK who have contacted me about Orthodoxy. I do not have time t…

Although I will be sending out the Mission Newsletter to those who ask to receive it, I will link to the first one here.. http://www.orthodoxmedway.org/OM_News_March_2011.pdf so that people can get an idea of what we are trying to do. This first n…

It might work now. I think it was because I modified the form outside of paypal. Father Peter
-
Lol! I'll take a look now. You are never a bother.

Thanks for message that ILSM. I had copied the updated files into the wrong directory. Does anyone have advice about how this mission could be drawn to the attention of any Orthodox grant making bodies? Or if any exist to support missionary work? …
