[quote author=ophadece link=topic=12807.msg150503#msg150503 date=1326708842] Dear Mina, I don't think female-only choirs are part of any rites in the Coptic Orthodox church FULL STOP. I don't think this has anything to do with the way things evolved…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=12807.msg150457#msg150457 date=1326584299] Dear Gabriella, The answer to your question is no.. no woman is allowed to lead tasbeha in the presence of any man.. Oujai [/quote] there needs to be specific characteristi…

Tasbeha can be done by girls just the exception of specific readings that need to be read by a clergy (Priest or a deacon). This is considering that they are standing in the chorus of the people and not the deacons chorus. As for leading...... most…

[quote author=morcousw link=topic=12795.msg150291#msg150291 date=1326301791] Actually, I'm fairly certain HGBY is almost done. He's got the whole thing on his iPad in English and he busts it out during Tasbeha. I've seen him do this just about every…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=12795.msg150274#msg150274 date=1326269367] NO it isn't optional, but is skipped for several reasons: because there is no time with other long chants, no time for the chanting of antiphonarium, sometimes it's read tu…

The Synaxarium is the story of the saint read in church. I have never heard about it being chanted. May be imikhail can enlighten us with some info from older manuscripts. It's as simple as a summarized biography of a person's life or info about an …
