[quote author=Copticandproud link=topic=12860.msg151246#msg151246 date=1327960215] I was wondering how was the commemoration of saints written. I mean why do we mention those specific saints and not others? and also is there any order or was it writ…

JG, By "yep" do you mean people are misusing "anba" or that he should be called by that title? BTW, sorry for sidetracking the topic, Copticstrength! I hope whatever you lost is returned to you. Ask God for it and have faith, no matter how low th…

Anba (?) Wannas. . . I thought that was for bishops of abbas, wasn't Wannas a child saint?

It works for me know! Thank you, father :) Please continue to post your sermons.

For some reason the website will not open for me. Anyone else experiencing this?

My request to join is in, Ioannes.

To close the discussion on "Protestant Concerts" everyone OUGHT to read this article: Using Instrumental Music in Worship???

Yeah, Fr. Moses Samaan is great! There are a few other priests I can think if, but there sermons aren't posted online. If there was a united effort to get these sermons out there, I think the youth wouldn't have to settle for the alternatives, which…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12797.msg151016#msg151016 date=1327435878] If I were to produce some, how long do people like listening for? 15 minutes? 20 minutes? [/quote] Keep it short and sweet, Father. I find that the short message with …

It would be great if you could post your sermons online father. I find that Coptic Orthodox youth have no good source for Orthodox sermons (don't refer me to the website bearing that name). I listen to the podcasts on ancient faith radio and wish ou…

The problem is that some of our closest friends and family members are so caught up in these youth meetings, songs, retreats, etc. that it is hard to tell them the truth without being harsh. . . More thoughts on how to change the way things are goi…

For those of you who attend other Orthodox churches, is the infiltration of protestant culture a problem there as well? Or this something that Copts in specific are dealing with?
-
Fr. Peter, What is to be done to combat this problem? We are diagnosing it, but what's the remedy? Should we petition our priests to stop these youth meetings from singing protestant songs and inviting unOrthodox speakers? Should be passively pr…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12820.msg150624#msg150624 date=1326836092] There should be a bishop's staff in every church. The staff is a sign of the bishop's office, commission, and authority. The one carrying the staff, should be a full…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=12820.msg150584#msg150584 date=1326792760] Dear Andrew, So do you live in California? You may pm me if you're too shy to answer here.. Oujai [/quote] Yes I do.

Thanks for the info., George. But why does a chanter have to walk around carrying it, why not the bishop himself? Secondly, why is it only brought out on special occasions?
-
This isn't a question of whether women can sing along with men or "switch-off". . .the issue was whether a woman should lead a man in praise. Of course, there may be circumstances when the males do not know any hymns that need to be said, but let'…
-
Tradition aside, Fr. Peter. Is it OK for a woman to lead a man in praise, if both of them know the hymns?

Titus 3:10-11 said: Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.

Read this Intro. to the Midnight Praise Hope it helps. Your username leads me to believe you are a female. . .if that is the case, may I ask who asked you to lead the tasbeha?

Ioannes mentioned Fr. Athansius Iskander; I met him when I spent some time at the monastery. He is a blessed man with abundant knowledge. ' This is a MUST listen sermon by him: Strip the vanity of the heretics Very suitable for all the protestant …

Fr. Moses Samaan, Presbyter at St. Demiana's COC in San Diego, CA said:I am very surprised to see Coptic Orthodox Christians sharing this link throughout Facebook. While the video may be artistic with a clear message, it represents the heresy of Chr…
-
Fr. Peter, thanks for the post. But I need you to help me understand why in the world many of our priests do not share your concern?! I'm either left to conclude that you are biased because of your conversion or they just don't realize the seriousne…

Christ's Servant brings up an important point: The youth think tasbeha is boring. I think there are a few reasons why tasbeha is "boring" (this is in no particular order): 1) Sin - it is hard to genuinely praise God without having repented. Your …

The problem is people are lukewarm. They don't want to be so bad as to go to a concert that has cursing, drinking, smoking, etc. so instead they go to a concert they can enjoy without all those things. However, few are willing to go to another churc…

[quote author=Copticandproud link=topic=12798.msg150331#msg150331 date=1326404597] This is horrible! The first thing he said is a complete contradiction with what Jesus himself thaught us. Jesus, himself started the church:"And I say to thee: That …

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12797.msg150315#msg150315 date=1326349020] Praising is a liturgical practice where the participants have the same faith and are praying with one accord. Concerts are not liturgical by definition. How can we Orthod…

Hebrews 11:3 said:By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
