italiancoptic, i like your points.dear mariakha,please take this man to an orthodox church (maybe in the next town if you are avoiding your family), then let God speak to him.please pray for him during this holy fasting season and ask God to help yo…

we are not allowed to 'change' our gender.if someone already had the op, we should accept him / her in the preferred gender.those people don't need to reverse the op.

if u send a pm with yr email, i can send u something on this

ophadece really does not like reconstruction. and i understand that.but maybe we could just put it in excellent english instead (the above english is not too bad)? i really like the hymn, but in the same way i can't stand bad english, ophadece can't…

hmm, maybe we could just sing it in english instead of trying to recreate or correct the original coptic / greek mix that some people say is incorrect?...in that case, we would need to improve the english to make it grammatically correct (which is m…

thanks, zoxsasi, many people asked and God provided.i didn't see a specific lecture on evolution yet, you have given us some work to do :)if anyone gets there first, please share it!
-
i found the specific link;there is cosmology towards the start and evolution is mentioned around at 20 mins. basically, all the evidence about the universe points to a beginning and many scientists became believers in God (not all Christians) becaus…

we orthodox Christians officially (whatever some people may say) don't believe that species evolved into different species.for more look at this new (and not very full yet) youtube channel from a group that i am part of (under the direction of 1 of …

hi thomasthebrother! it is grest to 'see' you here. are you a monastic brother? or a Christian brother in faith? firstly, we are very similar to EO, in fact in 1990, the patriarchs all agreed we share the same faith. there are some old calendarist g…

why can't God bless me when i want to rob a bank, or gossip against my friend in church?why can't i just invent my own religion and pretend God has blessed it?i would be the patriarch and make zoxsasi a bishop...;-)

what, no fancy clothes and shiny status updates?!:-O

we can prostrate on bright saturday (day before resurrection feast) :-)however I am not sure if that is still true if you are at church all night and then take Holy Communion saturday morning, as you are not allowed to prostrate after Holy Communion…
-
extra point - if you are not able to get to liturgy this wednesday 15 jan (feast of circumcision of our Lord), there is no strict fasting (abstaining from food). i checked with our priest about that.so we are still vegan that day, but you can eat br…
-
ok, so prolonging the aim of abstinence from 3pm to around 5 or 6 pm.thanks, sis.
-
sure, i was assuming everyone fasts strictly on fridays anyway, maybe i should make it clear as there are lots of people who are fairly new to being orthodox (including me!)
-
that is happy news, dear brother :-) i think that there is strict fasting Monday though (no fish) as it is the day before the feast, is that right? and also strict fasting 18 and 19 Jan before feast of theophany.
-
so i think we did every hymn! it was lovely, and 1 of the ppl ophadece mentioned was there (with his brother). they are still as lovely as they were as kids when i used to visit their church and they were polite, welcoming and enthusiastic. it is…

2 points: the deeper meaning of the song of songs is about God's relationship with us. for more details, read 'have u seen the 1 i love' by pope shenouda, I highly recomend it. secondly the verse is a bit different in the septuagint, so if i had see…

are u sure yr parents have not guessed? if they have not realised u are serious about someone maybe u should deal with this 1st before u mention the illness. if u are not close to them, maybe they will freak out already about u being adult enough to…

-
our church has all night praises then liturgy 25 -26th! as 26 december is bank holiday in uk. hoping we will include every hymn :-D
-
I don't know the situation, so won't comment further
-
in response to pharaoh nashed, I have also seen that, they want to have an extra service with Christmas tunes.
-
i was thinking of all those who were feeling sad about eating lentils and nuts on 25th...

remember we do get an extra day without fasting this year, 29 kiahk (8 jan) is a wednesday, so no wednesday fasting that day!
