aah, very nice posts!yes, the difference between social 'mission' as shown in the lives of our saints of old and modern social 'mission' as shown in big coorporate organisations from developed countries, is that the modern concepts perpetuate the ga…

sounds great!if anyone gets it, please review it here.if it's good, i may try to get it via my church book shop (i have trouble buying things on line).:-)

copticstrength, i am talking generally about people around the world.so if you are in america but have been working part time since you're 13 and you do lots of housework and walk the dog for your neighbours in your free time (instead of listening t…

if you're over 16 and planning to get married around 18 or 19, then teenage dating is fine. as long as you did your education and got a job (assuming it's manual work as you didn't go to college) and you are very emotionally mature (generally this i…

my friend is moving to saskatoon.are there any orthodox churches nearby?she is not (yet) orthodox...;-)
-
this is true.it is 6 years now since i joined the church, and i put up with the lack of catchy tunes and feel good lyrics in order to see what orthodox Christians really believed.i wanted to see why they were peaceful and how they could love their e…

try my favourite sermon: may God give you strength to walk back to Him.it's a long process. the bad spirits don't want you to get back to God.they know how dangerous you will be to them when you bring back other people to God as a result of your re…

i think this already happened a few years ago (maybe you can do the mathematics!)i am glad you plan to be alive in 2035 (1752 AM if my calculations are correct), i will be old / dead (though technically not quite old enough for a pension).;-) maybe …

-
thank God for that:-) ophadece, don't forget your homework...;-)

quickly, or you have to give back the passport!;-)

dear remnkemi,i was not saying people shouldn't use fairly bad english. i was saying they should say 'right and worthy', instead of 'meat and rice'. also i was saying that if someone's english is so bad you have no idea what language they are prayin…
-
wow, many questions! firstly, ophadece, how long have you lived in uk? :-O for your homework, please write a small paragraph each on saints andrew and george as patron saints of scotland and england! as for the other questions;the BOC has no ties …
-
no, south uk.
-
i read it!i like some coptic. i am actually happy with the current status in uk of most churches doing about half or just over half english in the main services and there also being some arabic and coptic. but it is better to say 'right and worthy' …

hi mark, happy new year!which country are you in? i am in the uk.i might be in a different country in 3 days!
-
i hope it's a 'no'.it would be very expensive for both countries. did anyone hear back from saint andrew and saint george?
-
i think it could happen.and if someone remarries before he is a priest, it is ok, he just can't remarry after. but as few people are called to the priesthood, don't worry about it happening to you / your friend. it probably won't happen. ;)
-
qawe, you sound like me! are you old already?! ;-) really, i think we should be more focused on doing things together. so if there are too many people to do a conference for all of them, then, for example, we could do one conference focused on 'find…
-
i hope less educated people and manual workers are allowed to go to.then i would be able to go (if it was in my country). what about old people?should they stay at home and weave palm crosses?
-
there are at least 8 million people in london.please send more missions.there is no schism, many people go to both missions as liturgies are only once a month each.they never happen on the same day.all missions have their strengths and weaknesses, s…
-
thanks, that one before the last one was one we studied in church history with the british orthodox church.it is one of my favourites!:-)
-
perhaps patriarch theodorus 2nd (EO) is aware of the history and planning to change things. personally, i don't think patriarch theodorus 2nd (OO) is naive enough to let significant power over egyptians pass over to greece or turkey.
-
wow, can you open another thread to discuss agios istin?is there a good english translation somewhere?i have heard on the internet that the hymn is not in very good greek / coptic, but there is something about it i love a lot.please tell me more if …
-
thanks for sharing:-)
-
this may help: (it has been posted here before) dear brother it is hard, but it is true that if you keep seeking you will find what you are looking for.start with a short prayer like 'our father' every day, and keep praying it, even if you feel not…
-
i don't know, but since he yelled 'axios' when giving patriarch tawadros 2nd the bishop's hat, i (and millions of copts) have loved him lots:-)may God preserve the lives of both patriarchs theodorus 2nd and may we join them in bringing God's love in…

thank you!i raise my nice cup of coffee to you too:-)

may God be with you all.but i don't understand why we are only discussing nude females?surely it is the same for both male and female? :-/
