  • Thanks Matt; you are right - how can we justify standing up for [coptic]taisoury [/coptic]for example and not be seated after abouna raises the incense around the church and continue to the [coptic]hiten [/coptic]verses, and after the GOSPEL, we don…
  • No Mina - they don't emphasise the importance of the Creed. They should always stand up when they are singing any hymn as jydeacon said. It is just some laziness that they don't. What if abouna chooses to pray the three long litanies instead of goin…
  • Mina, thanks for clarifying the issue with dashoria (sorry from mobile not all functions active). I logged onto youth-bishopric and I actually found a similar debate. A guy has a story about the source of that hymn cantor Ibrahim recorded. They say …
  • Dear Mina and christ_rose, There is one question confusing me so much. Cantor Ibrahim has been recording hymns for the last two decades on his own at least, and before that he was recording with the HICS if my observations are correct. I can't under…
  • No Mina, I disagree with you here. There is a difference between joyous alleluja and [coptic]Iwna piprovytyc[/coptic]. In my opinion, fitting alleluja on sharat is not so orthodox in principle. Why I say so, because no other alleluja goes along wit…
  • dear Christ_rose, please explain what you meant by saying that cantor Ibrahim left the refrain so that they don't fit it on the tune?
  • thanks tenoosht I'll be looking forward to that

  • Sorry a bit late to reply to this post :-) I just noticed a practice here in the UK (a couple of churches) who say every thing annual tune (as expected) but then add the melody "blessed are those" after psalm 150 finishes and maybe other annual melo…
  • I can understand how Melchoir is feeling. We all get those feelings but have to overcome them. Dear Melchoir Christianity means following the teachings of Christ and His message in the new testament is love and forgiveness. He came to fulfil what al…
  • Dear hottchio, I am glad you clarified things up for me and relieved me of my worries. I am sticking to my point nonetheless, and I hope young male deacons don't rest on their laurels and be dependent on girls. They have to learn hymns to lead on - …

  • you are right Melchoir our God is not theirs but we also don't believe that God's name is Allah. That's just the Arabic translation for the word god as mentioned before. Do you recall Daniel the prophet's story? He ignored the king's orders and carr…

  • Dear all, I still have unresolved issues with this subject. The first thing I am going to say though is that I don't think we ever received this from our Coptic forefathers in any generation and we can't just invent rites. I have to also say that th…

  • Well, I wasn't just trying to be sweet; I was trying to make a point... They call that team the pharaohs and they are not - we are the pharaohs (they stop any Christian playing in the whole Egyptian league with all its divisions, bar some exceptions…
  • Mabsoota, does that mean you are going to the match to support Egypt? I wouldn't be able to go anyway, but if I did I would probably have worn an English shirt and supported with Fr. Peter [coptic]nofri sai `nte ou`svyri `nhoui] `nte Kana `nte ]gali…
