[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10193.msg124665#msg124665 date=1292444503] I wonder if we might discuss the use of memory in the Christian life, and especially in worship, as well as means to increase attention in the services of the Church. …

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10187.msg124659#msg124659 date=1292441026] Next time you post a question, also post the answer you want to hear. We'll be sure to copy and paste it as our response instead of stating our opinions. I don't think you un…

[quote author=jydeacon link=topic=10187.msg124649#msg124649 date=1292432192] I'm sure my post really has no relevance at this point, but I would like to say I can see the argument for both cases...That being said, my opinion is that the projector be…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10187.msg124641#msg124641 date=1292425568] A Bible is a sacred and holy object. It is sanctified by prayer and devotion. Many people will never put another book on top of a Bible. The words contained in it trans…

Can someone kindly tell me the difference between a Paper Book with the Bible on it, and a device with an LCD screen (retina display) with the same Book on it ?? Why is one more acceptable than the other in Church??

Memorising the psalms is just good for you. Even the Bible. My iphone has really helped me memorize all of this. In fact, there's a very good way to memorize the Psalms and the Bible using the iPhone. If anyone is interested, please PM me.

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=10187.msg124631#msg124631 date=1292418265] Ok Doxsasi I see your point. If for that specific reason, that you MAY, but I personally would DISAGREE still. In most if not all of our churches in the diaspora, older as …

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10187.msg124628#msg124628 date=1292417516] ilovesaintmark suggested that you bring your Bible from home. Or do you also use an app at home? [/quote] Yes, I use an app at home also for reading the Bible. Its easier and…

Ophadece, We are talking about using Technology for ONE specific application: Where there are no English Bibles in a mass that it is 100% in Arabic. That's it. Fr. Peter clarified his statement saying that this (his opinion) MAY NOT apply to a …

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10187.msg124621#msg124621 date=1292408684] Zoxasi, I don't think you have followed my posts. I have consistently argued that there should be attention in the liturgy. I have never said that the laity should not …

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10187.msg124618#msg124618 date=1292404126] Zoxasi, what is the problem? Whenever I disagree with you you seem to take it as a personal insult. Why is it wrong for me to suggest that you speak to your own spir…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10187.msg124612#msg124612 date=1292400512] I am not sure why you want a show of hands. [/quote] Hi Fr. Peter, Come on.. i was adding a bit humour - of course u cannot show hands on a forum. I wanted to know…

Oh..by the way.. I don't have internet connection on my iPhone when I'm in the street..only WiFi..so there's NO chance anyway of doing anything outside of iCoptic, and my Bible apps.. Please respond with a simple YES or NO!! THanks

OK..great, I asked a question, and now I'm getting different responses. Can I just have a show of hands ?? All those FOR it (i.e. reading your iCoptic App, whilst standing/sitting at the BACK OF THE CHURCH, during the Bible Readings in Church) Say…

[quote author=Crazy4Christ1 link=topic=10187.msg124522#msg124522 date=1292367834] i would say no because as a deacon you are the example people look up to. best thing to do is just read and/or mediate on all readings before church [/quote] OK..wha…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10187.msg124476#msg124476 date=1292343225] Zoxasi, I did say that I was not criticising your using the I-phone to read the lections in English. That is an issue to do with lack of resources to help comprehension…

Hiya But is it wrong what I've done? Using the iPhone to read the Bible during the Liturgy? Otherwise, i'd have no clue as to what is being said?? Also, what do u think about Abanoub's Church where their entire service is IT based? Thanks
