Sorry typing from mobile.. nyetersawasta doesn't mean worship.. nyet means those and the rest of the word is a verb meaning to be humble.. so the whole thing means those who are humble oujai

Dear Amoussa1, I was actually addressing earlier posts not yours.. I agree with what you said. However in your very last post you imply that abakran is a recent introduction as well as khan ebran. No sir the latter shouldn't even be sung after the S…

Guys, we do praise God through His saints, don't we? ebraxis responses, abakran, Gospel responses (talking specifically about annual days), and by the way, in the same vein it's not strictly correct to say akseyas, or akseyos before agios.. oujai

Ok imikhail, I'll try to force myself to respect those melodies however badly written they are.. thanks anyway PS: did you just say "pi"? oujai
-
I actually disagree imikhail.. I don't think those Arabic melodies are part of the original rites. Just that we lost teaching about what should be said after be'aish for instance doesn't mean they are fine to be said.. oujai

Dear imikhail, Are you referring to the Arabic melodies? Oujai qen `P[C

Dear Christ_rose, Thanks... that is exactly my point. In many Communion hymns you will find that they include a verse about St. Mary (if not even more), one for the patron saint, and one for the bishop/metropolitan, and the pope. When I pointed out …

Dear Christ_rose, strictly speaking it's a wrong practice.. the full focus has to be on Christ.. in the case of efemebsha ghar that's the exception, not the general rule of thumb, and through praising st. Mary we praise God.. but it's known to be a …

I hope the confusion is only due to misunderstanding and not uncertainty about basic teaching.. heretics don't get rebaptized if they had originally been baptized on the Coptic orthodox faith, but if they had been baptized on the heretic faith, then…

I agree with Mina actually.. I don't think it's considered part of the rites.. there were many churches in Egypt, including the one I used to go to in the 80's and 90's where the priest started asking people for donations to upgrade how the altar lo…

Dear Fr. Peter, I wasn't suggesting anything except encouraging people to be familiar with what happens in Egypt.. that's all Oujai

DEar all, I would like to ask people to refer to current practices, rather than their own understandings or experiences as saifaing pointed out.. there are rules set out as mentioned above by both imikhail and saifaing... Oujai

Dear Stavro, You said: "The revolution was started by non-islamic groups to demand social equality, political freedom and human diginity, and it was later sabottaged by the Islamists with the help of the ruling military council and other forces." To…

Oh, and yes... Christians do have the right to protest, demonstrate peacefully, and revolt. Yes, yes, yes... they are a sector of the population, and if they don't, no one is going to do it for them. God actually protested against authorities that w…

Shafik wouldn't have been better for Christians. He would have been exactly acting in the same vein as mubarak, turning a blind eye to persecution, discrimination, lack of employment (and under-recognition), and the right to build churches. The only…

[quote author=Stavro link=topic=13419.msg157078#msg157078 date=1340641612] It is ironic that Morcy, the President of Egypt now, was a prisoner prior to the revolution and was freed by the brotherhood's militias who attacked the prisons of Egypt duri…
-
Imikhail, The military council will actually MAKE morsy run the country.. they already put their foot down dissolving the brotherhood majority party, so they are puppeteering them now, and have no shortage of audacity to make him president without a…

Yes she can.. she's capable through her intercessions with the Lover of mankind Oujai

DEar Mina, I have no idea about Anba Mattaos book, so I can't comment.. I think imikhail showed me the rites I always wondered about.. Oujai
-
Dear Fr. Peter, I wasn't talking about Saturday or Sunday, but after Communion in general. Dear caji, It makes sense what your priest told you. This is what I learnt from the church. I guess if someone can provide any references, I'd be grateful Ouj…

Actually some people could go on fasting after the Liturgy finishes if they so choose and with the agreement of their FOC.. in such a case they don't drink water after the Liturgy... Oujai

Ekhrestos anesty Thanks for the clarification imikhail Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty, I checked kholagy of nahdet el kanayes and it says only the day of ascension and the ensuing Sunday.. Dear imikhail, Are you referring to resurrection re-enactment and exposition, or what? What about special hymns then? I also beli…

-
EKhrestos anesty, I'll check that Mina.. while what you say makes sense but I believe it may not be strictly correct.. remember that we don't do resurrection re-enactment every day of the 50.. exposition and shiouwini also.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty DEar morcousw, Afrak etfa? I'm not so sure.. it's supposed to be sung on the ascension and intervening Sunday before Pentecost.. not any other time Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty Dear aem581, In hedan you do not mention the verse of the pope at all Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty, I noticed the problem persists even on the iPad which makes me think it's associated with mobile consoles! Not sure though... Any ideas how this can end? Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty, Dear morcousw, There were no pews in the church in the past, nor in monasteries at present.. sitting is not part of the rites, and it's just the leniency of man on himself that allows what shouldn't be Oujai

Ekhrestos anesty Very good point ilovesaintmark.. Oujai
