This is kind of a funny thread.. Im in my second year at uni and i study law and international relations. In my IR degree i do a subject called "global security" and it has really opened my eyes to environmental, political, economic and other threat…

yarni the priest was just saying that if a woman really wants to become a nun it is a yearning she would have had her whole life, and so there is no reason why she should wait after the age of 30 to join a convent.. In special circumstances exceptio…
-
actually i was listening to a lecture from this site the other day, and a priest in america was saying that 30 was the age limit for females to become nuns. The reason why that is the rule is because there isnt really a reason for females to have to…

lol Hizz_chiilld.. If i didnt have egypt to think about everyday my life would be very very empty.. lol.. Anyway, i was also going to ask if anyone knows of a english magazine in Egypt called "teenstuff" i used to get it when i was there, and so im…

haha :D Not ALL Egyptian guys are that bad, but you're right there are some who are. Anyway, i forgot to add two things to my list - also the fact that you can go out and have fun to really early in the morning (and everywhere remains open), and (o…

Hey Mazza, The article about the copts wanting the US government to stop funding is here --> http://www.nysun.com/article/31542 Also, im not disputing that there are some radical muslims in egypt, but again, my point was that the egyptian gover…
-
hmm.. to be honest i have to admit these protests can be rather counter-productive... I mean firstly you cant blame the egyptian government for what happened - you blame the radical islamists who are brainwashed - and even then, they have to face go…

Just to answer part of your question that i know (the rest i too am unsure). One of the reason's palm sunday is so important is because it fufilled a prophecy in the old testament that the messiah would enter jesusalem on a donkey and would be welc…

yeah i found it, thanks so much for your help Marianne!!

Starvo, i agree with some of your points, and disagree with many other points. However, im not going to get into an argument or even a debate in regards to my personal opinion on the religious conflict in Egypt right now. I just dont think that crit…

Just one other point i just came across this second, that is most interesting: "In a rare move, the Muslim Brotherhood, the largest opposition party, endorsed the Christian protests, accusing the Interior Ministry of failing to protect churches adeq…

Just an update, that ive heard, apparently the guy that did it was mentally ill... Whether he really is, or just an excuse to placate people, we may never know.. Rabana Maak Matt

I agree with everything said. Classical music is great to listen to when studying, and in fact i always use it :-[ lol. Also, there is something called the 'mozart effect' that some of you may be familiar with. Basically it is: "The Mozart effec…

thank you Marianne so much - you are always so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, sadly, i havent really been to church for a while and wont be able to go before passion week.. Do you think i would be fine if i just read, as instructed by Sandra…

thanks alot for that! Also, one other question, are we supposed to catch up for the days that we dont read the synaxarioum? Thanks :) Matt
-
Yeah nene107, i cant wait for easter either :D Im just annoyed that i have to go back to uni when easter starts :(.. Anyway, i was just going to ask then if anyone knows of a place where i cant read the tobia? If so i would really appreacite it!! …
-
Thank you so much Sandra for that!!!!!! I never knew what we were supposed to read, but im so happy now that i do know!!! Im just curious though, what is the tobia reading? Rabana Maak Matt

ok, i just wanted to let you guys know that i just watched the national geographics special on "the gospel of judas".. I mean i didnt watch it with the intent of being convinced or anything, but rather because i was interested as the text is coptic,…
-
interesting topic.. though really it just protocol.. Im studying law in australia, and every time we go to a court, we have to like walk out backwards and bow our head at the judge.. I mean at the end of the day its just a matter of respect ;)
-
i think the answer would definitely we syrian orthodox. Firstly because they are part of the oriental orthodox church, are in the same region as us, and speak arabic. actually i've always wanted to go to a syrian orthodox church but havent had the c…

i sympathise with your situation, though can only remind you what baba kyrillos instructed "be obedient to your superiors even if they are not of good character".. if you're situation is truly very bad you might have to consider looking for a job yo…

Thank you for sharing all this information about Baba Kyrillos with us Iqbal!! I hadnt seen those miracle pictures before and really appreciate them. May you get extra blessing from Baba Kyrillos for all your work in putting this link together!

you're welcome to it. though while the read is long its worthwhile.. I mean apart from stigmata, visions of mary and other things, she also saw jesus christ and he said to her -- "My daughter, I am the Beginning and the End. I am the Truth, the Free…
-
a very interesting video!! Thank you for sharing it ;)
-
lol i get asked that question a thousand times a week!! Though in australia people are often racist and ask rudely, therefore i find it best to smile at them and ask them why they want to know where im from. If they are genuine (yarni maybe they are…

Yes i am coptic, but i havent really dont a lent before... The reason i was asking about the greek orthodox church was because i have a greek orthodox friend and we both decided that we would do the proper easter lent this year... I was just lookin…

thanks for your help. OK, so i guess that after the 'meatfare week' we cant have eggs, and fish and so on? Also, does anyone know exactly what day the lent ends? Thank you so much for your help again.
