try some of these http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Songs/English/Coptic_Hymns_and_Spiritual_Songs_1.html go to 'media' at the top, then 'hymns', 'praises' or 'songs' and you will see many songs. if you can't listen on your computer (maybe don't have right pro…

put simply, caribbean hair is fine, caribbean timing may need improving! ;) egyptians are just as bad at timing, but you should arrive before the gospel in order to take Holy Communion. that is so people don't get into bad habits of not really repe…

hi, welcome everyone :) ilovesaintmark, we do call it the pond but it's still too big to swim. :P even bermuda is too far to swim, but it sounds cool. 8)

there are some people who still insist we are monophysite heretics and not really orthodox. we should pray for them and not be drawn into the dispute too much (unless we are asked by the bishops to write theology papers to help in the dialogues, ord…

please can i make a small correction, we are not YET in communion with these churches. since we agreed we are all orthodox in 1990, we have been working on better relations. http://www.antiochian.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&i…

yipee! :) may God give her very much peace.

may the Lord give you peace and wisdom. in your weakness, He is strong.

as father peter said, it depends on your motives. however i think giving up something on sunday is a good tradition. eg someone whose main job is to cook for the family could prepare something simple the day before and put it to one side. this preve…

this is the best website for hymns etc. at the top of the page, click on media and then audio hymns, songs or praises.

God gives everyone a chance. we have free will. it is a big subject, i'm sure more people can comment on it!

hang out in a group, with other people. as u are sat at the table with others, you can have a conversation with the person you love as well and find out about them. then pray a lot and, if it is right for both of you, and you have discussed it with …

if anyone from the south of england is here, could u send me a personal message with the name of yr church (i don't need yr name) so i see how many churches there are? as the churches in uk grew from a few small centres that were not linked, they ar…

ophadece, i'm sorry not to agree completely with you, as i really respect all your hard work in keeping the knowledge of the coptic language and i know you're a really lovely person, but i truly think there is a need for both coptic and a language p…

good point, servant 33! how good is everyone's greek?! Εὐλογία Κυρίου καὶ ἔλεος ἔλθοι ἐπὶ σέ.

ask the opinion of a homeless person, i mean like get chatting to them and find out a bit about them. ok, u may have to buy them a sandwich 1st to get their attention (don't give money, likely to go on drink/drugs) but get to know them a bit and the…

whatever u do, don't do yoga. all the yoga positions are positions of worship of hindu gods. there is no reason why it would be ok for a Christian to do yoga. briefly (coz i am a bit busy today) anger often comes from our response to people who hur…

are you singing in ge'ez? i personally think it's a good idea for people to worship God in a language they can speak. if it's in a language she speaks, then explain to her the meaning (not all kids know big words) and also explain about God's love f…

may God give them His peace which is beyond all understanding and protect them from the enemy.

like walk to work, walk the dog for your old neighbour, dig someone's garden, cycle to church (hmm, maybe not in central london, streets a bit busy), clean the church, open a small business cleaning people's cars on saturdays etc, there are lots of …

felicitations

i don't have a deeply spiritual answer, but i have to say that it would freak me out! i couldn't do it. i once was at a big conference with work, in a city i hadn't been to before, and i was pleased to see that our venue for dinner looked like it …

i understand the question coz i once thought maybe u could. when i was more ignorant, i reckoned that as most catholics believe less than 90% of what they officially believe and most orthodox believe less than 90% of what they officially believe, so…

very interesting info on baptism. having come from a protestant church where baptism was always by immersion (though less often children were baptised) and joined the coptic church, i visited a little anglican church where the priest announced there…

i asked abouna this more than a year ago, i also decided it was the best prayer, but he said it's only for priests to pray it. so i read it sometimes and thank God the priests are praying it and say 'amen' in agreement. we still have the rest of the…

we all make mistakes. that's why our church encourages us to fast and pray regularly, it helps us to think before speaking. sometimes people say things to us that are hard to answer. in this case it's good just to say 'thanks to God' in all situatio…

the link at the bottom advertising cosmetic dentistry should give it away. i have reported it ;)

did u go? how was it? it's good to 'see' u, it's been a while. i pray u will find the church and God will guide u in yr life.

the main thing is to teach yourself that God is in control and that this is a good thing. during my last exam, i was so anxious i felt quite unwell, but i remembered that the worst that could happen was that i would faint and so have to resit the e…

i agree with aidan. please can we think before posting. if we really are so much better than other people, we should work hard for their salvation with tears night and day, as saint paul did.
