Mina, your or abouna's statement on holy Thursday is not precise. The rite is semi-festive semi-annual during the Liturgy only. Laqqan is an absolute annual. Paschal prayer…

With all due respect I disagree regarding the sources of rites. If we have a manuscript from which the printed books are taken and there is strong evidence that this manusc…

What are you trying to prove? :P
I'm saying if you have an excuse for occasional skipping, then you can't say "since we had an excuse once, we're allowed to give excuses for e…

But in the big picture, if there is a valid, spiritual reason to skip hymns occasionally, then there could be a valid, spiritual reason to skip hymns and rush every time.

imikhail......i disagree on that to. What you are trying to do is call the entire liturgy an enactment.......so now the Resurrection enactment is just an addition to that. i don't agree with that. the liturgy is not an enactment....we truly LIVE in …

Certainly not! We aren't to adopt this mentality. If there is a problem with the praises we offer to God, we don't twiddle our thumbs and wait for God to miraculously tell…
"WE are to worry about the praises of God. Not the One being praised."
EVERYTHING we do...everything we have and give of is God's.....if He doesn't want us to praise Him than we won't find praises to do so.
"True, but the less we use them over time they will be so foreign to people that it will be difficult to revive them. If a church hasn't said the hymn "Meghalo" in 50 years, I doubt they will suddenly decide to pick it back up again. The congregatio…
