now is the Christmas fast, it's a good time to come back to church. please do it soon! for your own good and for the good of the people who look up to you and want to follow your example.

ethiopians and eritreans often do not because of strong jewish influence there many hundreds of years ago. we do. but we don't like to talk about it during the Christmas fast! :o ;) just kidding; i don't like it that much, so it hasn't made me to…

[quote author=Servos link=topic=13977.msg162042#msg162042 date=1355699170] Dear Mnc_hnn and others Coptic brothers and sisters, Do Copts have some pop music or hip-hop or any modern band and music group? If I searched the forum good, I find lot of …

because we take the Body and Blood separately, there is a chance some crumbs could fall out, so we cover our mouths for that reasons. we don't use the cloth after we take the Holy Blood. in eastern orthodox Holy Communion, you take the Body and Bloo…

thanks a lot for the post and link! :)

hi and welcome! basically we believe that our free will and God's knowledge of what we will do next are both very important. we don't believe anyone is set up to fail, rather that God hardens people's hearts because of their evil ways. other people …

wow, thanks for sharing that! i missed that interview. i have to change my habits! :o i suppose we can still ululate in the church hall after the wedding / ordination etc. does anyone know if people used to ululate in the 'old days' in church? is…

sorry, there are so many questions, we don't know where to start. can you start with the most important question for you? we know that God does not tempt us more than we can bear. it says this in 1 corinthians 10 verse 13.

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=14001.msg161837#msg161837 date=1355156581] I have to apologize. Apparently, most of the English text found in they hymn "I praise the Virgin" was taken from a private translation I made years ago. It seems as the ye…

i can't answer all yr questions, but since patriarch theodore 2nd of the EO church in alexandria gave a beautiful speech and yelled 'axios' at the enthronement of our patriarch tawadros (theodore) 2nd of the coptic church, we love him lots! let us k…

may God guide u and help u to remember all u studied.

just to be clear, i am suggesting doing HALF the hymns in coptic (agreeing with remnkemi), not none of them... i'm sorry if i came across harsh, ophadece, i admire very much your efforts at keeping coptic culture and Christian faith alive. it's prec…

unless you aim for some middle ground between 'only the longest possible hymns with a very difficult tune in a foreign language' and 'easy to sing tunes with heretical lyrics'. middle ground is not so hard! :o try 'a few long hymns (half in engli…

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=13928.msg161562#msg161562 date=1354150560] For some comedy, I'd like to add what my church does year round (Easter, Christmas, Annual etc.) After Psalm 150, we have a wonderful array of: + O Pilgrim + How L…

u can say 'liturgy' (from greek), which is basically the same as 'mass' (from latin). in arabic, it is 'uddass', which is the egyptian pronunciation of 'quddas', meaning 'holy".

hi, so u are from the serbian church? :) welcome!

forgive me, i did not read all the posts, but 'night of the last supper' is good to sing during Holy Communion because people can understand it and can follow the tune. this way, they can use this song to worship God. in the end, it's about worshipi…

are you trying to work and study at the same time? may God guide you. do not fear anything in this world, God is in control.

not rude, just u will not be taking communion if u don't stay! i have been in churches before where visitors pop in and can't stay till the end. i didn't realise yr church started so late. by all means go to the coptic one. maybe it will be qawe's …

hey, jg, how's it going? i'm sending a p.m. about communion hymns so i don't disrupt the thread. :)

interesting. our church values confession very much. if yr priest is not interested in hearing your confession, then maybe you should arrange to go for confession with the coptic priest before taking Holy Communion. i tried to do the 2 services in …
