You pronounce "Aigyptos" as "ah-gib-toos". Yes, I think I think that's all you have to say about that word.
Orthodox mean straight path. You could say we're the only religion that hasn't derived…
Cyril97,
Your description of a church narrows down your search to 100% of all COC's in North America. You will find the little deacons and women making food in the majority (if not all) the churches.
I do believe, though, lvnvrfails13 has already…
I once knew a girl who, on Good Friday one year, would constantly go up to the same deacon and put the recorder next to his mouth whenever he sang solo. She did it about 5829 times in the 10 hour period.
He was a visitor deacon, and we never saw hi…
It's not really moderator rights, it's just getting rid of the spammers. The people who have over 1000 posts were on this site for a while, and there aren't many of them. I can list 7 on the top of my head, including you. Obviously there would be so…
Oh no! I knew this would turn into a Sunday School lesson.. lol
Well, I wouldn't compare (memorization of) the psalms to the Gospel. I personally enjoy the psalms more because I can recite them when I am distressed or in need of God's mercy. They c…
I have a couple more verses (actually, 4 to be exact) and I, too, will be done with Chapter 1.
I think 2 verses a day would be pretty easy, but I haven't practiced it yet. I've been trying to keep up with you since I started really late. I crammed…
Interesting piece of music you created there. Very Coptic indeed lol. 0:45 startled me a bit. What are the words? I couldn't make them out.
Sounds like a contemporary version of Tchaikovsky's music.
Hmm: I wonder what scent would I recommend? Should I go with the spicy autumn scent or the apple crumb cobbler?
No offense, but your comment was not appropriate during this time of year. I would have gone with Xmas scents: either the Berry Spice E…
We only have one active Moderator on the site. If being a priest isn't a full time job, then being a dad is lol. He's also writing books I believe and active on other sites.
What I'm saying is, it's a large task for a single individual (who's alre…
hahahaha!! ilovesaintmark that was EPIC!!! you just got ur stripes
I was seriously dying from laughter at points 16-22.
Foul bucket contest or not, ilovesaintmark is by far THE funniest poster on tasbeha. Fact.
Sorry Zoxsasi.
Fr. Peter, I have …
Someone asked Bishop Youssef:
Can women hold or have ever held positions of authority such as deaconess or priest-ess in your church?
In our Church a woman can hold the position of a deaconess but not a priestess. We define a deaconess as a maid t…
I like the picture of Bishop Youssef. He looks 12 lol
I created this thread without even visiting the site. I just clicked the link now, and I agree with Ophadece (btw what does 'ophadece' mean?) about the use of Coptic letters as decoration. I'm …
I was about to ask who St. Alban was until you said 99.9% of Copts are unfamiliar with him :)
Thanks for the explanation.
I hope you have a blessed and joyful feast in the Lord. Merry Christmas :)
Btw, I'm not even done with the first Chapter o…
Oh. I thought we used the same calender. Do you break your fast tonight? Did we start fasting the same time? Do we have the same Easter?
This is very interesting.
You know that moment where an overflow of thoughts rush to your head and you can't answer a simple question like "what's your favorite food"? I'm having one of those now.
I'll reply later when my thoughts are a bit organized :)
I won't tell you which one I have. I don't like people troubling themselves for me.
I haven't had the chance to try the programs yet.
I told you I don't have any talent in music. It's going to take me a while to 1. google all the terms you used …
I tried the videos with Google Chrome and it did the same thing. You should contact one of the admins since it's a problem with the site and not your personal computer.
