no, they don't always need to go to seminary.they don't all become priests either, though some do later. i know someone who was just ordained full deacon!:-)he is studying orthodox theology now.http://britishorthodox.org/4325/recent-ordinations/

yes, he is teaching an online course in orthodox theology and is busy in his parish and with outreach liturgies in 2 different locations! did you change your online name because of the change in website layout?good to 'see' you again.:-)

this bit:'Abouna says nothing, so I just get the feeling that this is OK'you weren't joking?sooooooorrrrry

hey, theophilus1,great to 'see' you. please don't pull all of your hair out, your amharic and tigrinya is better than mine!temesgen Fitari! (something like 'praise God' in bad tigrinya):-)

zoxsasi, please just read 'have you seen the One i love' by H.H. pope shenouda. no sola scriptura there, you can be sure. his holiness explains many things about the writings of the early church fathers. the book is awesome, i am now on the last cha…

zoxsasi,you are doing this deliberately to see what people will say!:-Onaughty boy!repent and go to tasbeha...;-)your sis,mabsoota

you can find orthodox11 over on 'orthodoxChristianity.net'. he and his wife are very cool people :-) father peter is very busy with his church, missions in london and nearby and with online orthodox christian teaching. find out more on 'britishorth…

interesting, i would like to know the answer to this too. syriac and armenian orthodox subdeacons use the censer, and greek orthodox too. remember to make a distinction between full deacon, subdeacon and chanter / reader as they are very different. …

it is really very deep, about God's love, our half hearted love, our repentance and our deep relationship with God through His sacrifice and His forgiveness. maybe you can find something on line from Pope Shenouda about it. i was blown away by his w…

this book is so awesome and so deep that i started it a few months ago and haven't finished yet. i am so glad u have read it, jg, may God bless u and yr studies and yr family. :)
-
u are welcome! i love the fact that this website has all the daily readings, so i miss them when they are not there.
-
i agree with mnc_hnn may God bless u all.

may God give u great grace and patience. the enemy is like a roaring lion who loves to hurt us, so he tempts our loved ones to say things they don't mean. sometimes we reply with things we wish we did not say. keep praying and thanking God for each …

quick correction: it is the 'mini pill' (progesterone only pill) that prevents implantation of the unborn baby into the uterus and so may act to cause abortion. the combined contraceptive pill does not do this as it prevents ovulation.
-
may God bless u and also those from this page: http://evangelismcopticorthodox.org/onlineevangelismclass.html i assume you have links with them. :)
-
i am not sure it's possible! i tried here: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php/topic,12148.msg143500.html#msg143500 and could only do it on word for mac but not on internet chat forums. i will be watching this space to see if anyone sort…

may God bless u and you r family and all those in philipines also. it is good to 'see' you here. :)
-
just stand up for the gospel (as you are a Christian). nothing else needed.
-
don't avoid church. but if you feel it is too difficult or stressful to serve in church please discuss this with a priest or deacon. you can go there to worship God, you don't have to always serve. may God bless you.

we shouldn't honour the spirits of the dead and gods of the dead like the pagans do by making scary costumes and pretending that communicating with the spirits is just a bit of fun. we are Christians, and we can only ask the Christian dead to remem…
-
this is truly beautiful. :) the english words are put into the tune really well, i mean without long pauses in the middle of words that people do in coptic, but sounds awful to a native english speaker. it is really, really well done, with all the …
-
err, i go on these 2 forums a lot! :-[ in my defense, i don't watch tv, so i do have time to meet real life people too! ;) i have actually met 4 people now in real life that i first met on Christian forums. they were just as nice in real life! w…

welcome, tobit! great name, i love the story of tobit :-) definately praying from the agpeya is good, and listening to tasbeha when ironing clothes or doing other chores is great. you can get english tasbeha (night praises) on this website - tell us…

i was not against marriage with 'non coptics'. i think it is not wise for a Christian to marry someone who isn't a Christian. even marriage to a different sort of Christian is hard work, but to a non Christian is too much hard work. my husband is …
-
also maybe you can use social media to 'chat' to friends more coz that way you don't have to actually talk. pray a lot, spend time in church and God will guide you. make friends with people who don't have a good social status, like the little kids o…
-
hi, i am sending p.m. may God give u strength. i found praying consistently (even if only 1 or 2 prayers from agpeya / day plus personal prayers) got me much closer to God and then i found it easier to pray to Him about the things that really hurt. …

[quote author=✞SuperMAN✞(BAM)✞ link=topic=14610.msg166224#msg166224 date=1381418824] I would not mind marrying a woman that is not Christian and living with her for the rest of my life, the only problem is the children, [/quote] :o :o :o my ch…

may God guide u and give u His peace and love. stay close to God and He will give u wisdom with the people around you. remember no one is perfect, so maybe your friends can do better if given a second chance.

hi, what i mean is that all of our faith has a clear explanation, and we should keep asking till we get answers; the answers are definitely there. if there are some hymns that don't make sense; this is a different problem. so we rejoice that salvati…
