many OSBs have a section at the front when they list the different numbering systems for the book of jeremiah. if yours doesn't have one, i'm sure the publisher will email you one for free. unfortunately when there are references to jeremiah in the …

my church did 'asheya (evening prayer) 90% in english, as we had guests. and they understood it! :D

may God give him peace. a dear family friend had this. God was with him through all the difficult time and with his family. sometimes God's will is not ours, but it is better than ours. this man touched very many through his peaceful acceptance of G…

haha, maybe a sign from God to go study the Bible or do some homework and not watch tv! ;) gotta go now and do some study and learn this myself!

the first time i walked into a coptic church, it was like 'hello, God!' :)

our Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills. so ask Him for money.

we do 1 verse in coptic, one in english, one in coptic, one in arabic, one in coptic, one in english etc. etc. so eventually (after several weeks), we will have heard all of them in english, and all in coptic and arabic.

may God have mercy. i know a monk who lives in europe planing to leave egypt this week, i will try to find out news if he is successful in coming out. may God give him and all people peace that only God can give. our time on this world is short, our…

so who will be left to rebuild the country?

yes, Godlovesme (and everyone else who said this), let's work on the alternative and certainly not stop going to church meetings. lets not damage our own spiritual life by staying away from church because 'i am too good for me church', no-one is tha…

maybe a bit harsh. by the way most people are still 'in love' with people on TV at this age, as for me, it was a family friend. no, rather, i was in love with the idea of being in love. i sort of realised this, so didn't tell this guy, just watched …

whoah, 9 pages! some practical points: 1. father peter said 'The clapping in Protestant services is part of a process, witting or unwitting, known or unknown, of creating a mood.' this has also been true in my experience (>20 years) or being prot…

i find it so, so annoying that it is hard to prostrate in most churches! >:( oops, sorry, bad attitude, will try more :) 8)

i never dated. i happened to meet someone at a Christian music festival and we wrote to each other, then later i visited his family (other country) and we got to know each other there. we did get married a bit young (i was 22), but i don't approve o…

in the british orthodox church they mostly have other jobs as well, as they are mostly missionaries. also most people in britain have british accents, others have egyptian, sudanese accents... lol

i think it's to make people realise they have to pray as well, not just wait for the priest to do all the work! like maybe u think u r not worthy to pray when u hear a long beautiful prayer from a priest. then someone says a tiny prayer, like 'God i…

great video! and you can see abba seraphim in the bottom left hand corner as well :) he has an awesome british accent as well! :D lol

i love jews. i worked with a jew today, he is great. i respect the fact that there are jews in israel and i do not believe they should be blown up or wiped out. but i disagree with the systematic persecution of palestinians that makes them (worse th…
-
yes, it is vital. i think if you miss Holy Communion to go to the wedding or funeral of someone who is not Christian, so you can show love and support and also share your faith, i am sure God will bless you, like He blesses the hermits and other mon…

i think he means, it makes sense, but it makes sense to someone who believes in God's love and seeks to serve Him. Christianity does not make sense to people who are selfish and proud or who laugh at poor people when they suffer and who want to be f…

if these quotes from father peter (and saint john cassian) are too long, please, please print them out on paper (in pretty colours if you want) and read them, even if it takes a few days. they are gold.

marmar's website is great. http://www.sundayschoolservice.org/spiritofserving.asp the important thing is to pray for all the kids every week by name, and get to know them and their families. as for the difficult kid, just keep trying. you are proba…

i got a pm from someone in brisbane, saying how God was taking care of them through difficult times. may God bless all those in australia and other places who go through hard times

this is the one i listened to a million times on my mp3 player: http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Divine_Liturgies/Fr_Shenouda_Abba_Pishoy,_Liturgy_of_St_Basil_in_Arabic.html although in parts it switches to st. gregory's liturgy, just to confuse you! if you g…

sorry, we have been busy reading all the other threads here, there have been lots of discussions! we don't have problems with jews, many of us have jewish friends, but the current government of israel has done a lot of damage in lebanon and palestin…

interesting website, i think that some of the information is useful, e.g. they explain how psychologists sometimes consider the voices to be a route to the unconscious. e.g. if a person hears a voice telling them to hurt themselves, it could indicat…

i love to read your story, father peter :) i also had a longing for greater depth, and i also found reading church history opened my eyes and was a great surprise. what non-protestant Christians don't understand is that it is really hard to find ou…

wow. thanks for sharing the poem.

protestants teach it is not sin, as it's not mentioned specifically in the Bible outside of other practices, eg bad thoughts. but i realised that as it's 99.9 percent of the time associated with bad thoughts, then it makes sense to consider it sin. …
