This is very interesting:
The seventeenth-century German Jesuit, Athanasius Kircher, made the earliest-known attempt at transcribing a piece of Coptic music. It was not until the early nineteenth century, during Napoleon’s expedition to Egypt, that…
Pray for our high priest, Pope Abba Shenouda the third, pope and patriarch and archbishop of the great city of Alexandria, and his brethren in the apostolic liturgy: the Patriarch of Antioch Mar Ignatius Zaka Iwas, and the Patriarch of Eritrea Aboun…
i'd just like to add this link to this thread:

"What pencil should I choose, and then I chose 1 and I thought that the other one got sad, so I used the other one"
I thought that too, but Fr. Peter said this:
[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10101.msg123490#msg123490 date=1291572711]
He has no authority over any of the other Orthodox Patriarchates. The Patriarch of Alexandria was for centuries the patri…
Why are you so confused? lol
Patriarch and Pope are used interchangeably, both refer to the same person.
Pope Shenouda isn't Pope/Patriarch over any other church but ours, Coptic Orthodox (and British Orthodox, for now).

I thought the "standard" was 'tenechisy emmo'? That's what my church says in weekday liturgies throughout Kiahk.
lol that's a weird metaphor to use. I would have just said: because incense, offered by the priest, is in higher position than individual prayer. I guess if you want another metaphor, it's like getting 10 letters in the mail and one has a gold envel…
Since Kiahk starts on a Friday this year, we'll just say the first Sunday Gospel response until Sunday, December, 18, then second Gospel response until the 25th and so on.
I'm sorry too.
It's not your fault josephgabriel. We all sinned due to our weaknesses. If theres anyone to blame it's Zoxsasi because he has not apologized yet.
Ok, we, the judges, had a long and deep discussion, and we came to the conclusion that jokes do not have to be limited to foul only. You guys can free style until Maged comes and gets us all in trouble!
Actually josephgabriel, ilovesaintmark only laughs at his own jokes.. so theres no way Zoxsasi can win this way.
Fine, instead of 13.44, we'll add extra credit and make it 13.45. Is that ok with you Joseph?
Hey! Stick to foul jokes please!
I'll give you .0001 for at least trying though.
We have to give ilovesaintmark credit for the past 2 jokes.. since it was against rules, then we'll just award half credit to both our scores. I was going to give him…
Zoxsasi,
ilovesaintmark's comment without the funny things included was by itself funnier than 3/4 of the sitcoms on television.
Josephgabriel,
I have the bucket of foul ready, what were you planning to do with it? See who can eat the fastest?
