Question for you, Andrew:
What do you suggest Orthodox Christians do on Halloween?

One thing we certainly can't do is sit at home, tell the kids to go to sleep and…
So what do you propose Remnkemi? On Thanksgiving Orthodox Christians act like nothing is going on? On New Years we all just continue life as normal?
The church has to respond to these things with positives instead of ignoring them altogether. Ther…
Please, don't fall for this bait and engage them (foolish, rebellious, secular, perverted "Concerned Copts"). This is what they want and love. No matter how much truth you provide, they will reject it.

I really don’t appreciate the constant personal attacks. This isn’t the first time.
I’m not going to defend myself, because there is absolutely no gain in doing so.
I know wh…

Very true.
However, I always heard it as - "Love God, and do what you will"

1. I don't see why not. .
2. It is not right to drink wine, it is ok in moderation. That applies to any occasion and any wine. So long as you don't get drunk.
3. Yes. Yes.

And you have a class of 40 kids to teach alhan? I commend you for being able to get that many kids to participate and not taking your responsibility lightly.

Thanks very much for your reply's!
I think I am getting more clarity on this subject now.
So, the 2 become one flesh, but still the soul's are separate??
So Holy Matrimony…
I tried to set up the same system at my church before. The problem was those scheduled to serve didn't show up on their day. . .so it ended up being just random picking before the Offering of the Lamb!

The likelihood you get a chance to see him depends on what city you live in.

I don't think people are lazier, TITL. Especially, in America (if we are speaking about Copts). Many people work long hours and take care of kids, etc. Kids have so many activities going on. It's not like people are without jobs, watching TV all day…

I hope he does come again to the West Coast. When he came to consecrate my church I was only a little boy and completely oblivious to the great blessing before me!
A test that determines whether you move on to your 2nd year?! Sounds like you're in Egypt ;)
Study with others and pray morning and night that God's will be done and that He allows you to succeed so that His Holy Name is glorified.
You will do g…
I have an idea for a hymn game! Our moalem at my church used to do this with us when we were beginning to learn, to make us better.
It is basically "hot potato" with a hymn. So e.g. I start Taishori (Ta ---- - - - - - - ) and then I point to so…
You really think St. Peter was travelling to all these places getting persecuted while his kids and wife were with him? I doubt it. I mean I don't know if he had kids but I assume he did.
Anyway, I think the reference you gave to Corinthians might…
Well while Jesus was with them they were still in Jerusalem so it wasn't necessary to leave their families. But after is what I am really interested in.
