The track list is up now. Here's the direct link to the pdf file: http://images.copticheritage.org/productions/pdf/Kiahk_Midnight_Praise_Tracks.pdf

Hi Mina, I'll work on a pdf of the track list today and put it up. I wasn't gonna have one up because all the tracks and samples will be listed on cdbaby.com.

You'd think someone with that kind of power would at least be wise with words. Which Copt, after seeing this video, would want to vote for the political party that Mr. Sawiris formed? It's sad how power, politics, and money corrupts. Our Coptic …

Agape, If what you need to learn is the liturgical Bohairic Coptic, there's always the easier and cheaper alternative, which is to follow along the Coptic lessons on CYC and are provided on youtube. Here's a playlist: http://www.youtube.com/user/c…

Agape, It is a very serious sin to compare servants, and to do so based on subjective feelings and favouritism. Hymns are a means of praying. The point is to use hymnology to praise God. If someone instead turn towards the style of music, the voi…

The pic of the women praying in the church clearly shows that they are not praying in a Coptic Orthodox, Catholic, or Anglican church, where in all three cases there would be an altar and icons/stained glass windows/statues, all of which are clearly…
-
Agape, It's probably this pic that's being discussed here: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/390271_203509843062748_105468476200219_499226_2121929038_n.jpg They're praying in the pulpit/stage area of this church. There's no al…

Agape, First of all, get the facts straight. The make-shift hospital happens to be in a Presbyterian church, not in an Orthodox church. You can read about it here: http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/27533/Egypt/Politics-/Houses-of-God-t…

Agape, Here, let me challenge you guys with a nice chunk from St. Paul's letter to the Romans (8:18-23). Note carefully that he refers to "creation" (i.e. living and non-living creatures) separately from "children of God" and "we ourselves" (i.e. h…

Antony wouldn't have a Christ to follow in the wilderness and become a saint had it not been for the Theotokos ;)
-
Agape, The only issue I had with the podcast (and the follow-up in this forum's thread) is where is this discussion going? With the exception of the second podcast on Concerned Copts, I found that there is no particular thesis to any of the podca…
-
Agape, I don't understand what the fuss is all about. The Church Fathers who used the formula explained what they meant, of course. The entire book of St. Athanasius' On the Incarnation is an explanation, as well as St. Gregory the Theologian's On …
-
The formula used by St. Irenaeus and St. Athanasius, that was later used by the Cappadocian Fathers and all the Orthodox disciples of these Fathers is: "God became human, so that the human may become God." This is the main argument for theosis, bu…
-
Agape, Interesting discussion and it's difficult to answer it. However, perhaps I may add that there are two additional traditions that, perhaps through further research, could shed more light on this doxology's words. First, there is Pseudo-Diony…
-
Agape, Why do you guys make things so complicated and talk across each other and against each other? The teachings of the Fathers could be made so simple using an analogy: The Christmas tree, by its own nature, is bare. When it is taken and plan…
-
The Catholic Mass you've attended is a joke. There are so many liturgical abuses that happened in the Catholic Mass as a result of the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council, where they're shortened the Mass, made the priest turn around to…
-
As I said earlier, we worship God, not our languages and cultures. It is a sin to create the idol of Coptic and worship it. As the old saying goes: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." This does not translate (necessarily) to "sin as the Romans si…
-
Agape, While I am very conservative about the Coptic Orthodox Church's rites and hymns, which is evident in my participation with the HCOC choir (for example), it must be remembered that these rites and hymns serve our Coptic people, and do not ne…

Once again, I suggest seeing: agpeya.ca

I recently worked on a translation, and based the Psalms on the NRSV. Here's the link: agpeya.ca

Remenkimi, when you return, please give us a short summary of Hany N. Takla's, The Sale of Dismembered Manuscripts of Coptic Egypt on eBay. Update Report. Thanks!
-
Agape, For those who would like to attend, there will be a whole week course (which can be taken for university credit) on the Philokalia offered in the Patristics Summer Program at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, MA. The…
-
Agape, Why are there so many questions and disagreements? It would be helpful to begin by reading what I've linked to, in order to understand why the changes were implemented by the Holy Synod. Here's a direct link to the English text: http://www…

That's from the Byzantine rite. It's called the Great Entrance.
-
Agape, Read this: http://www.copticheritage.org/PagEd+index-page_id-828.phtml

Actually, I wasn't asking the questions as questions... I was directing everyone to a link that has an article on the calendar ;D
-
Sadati, anisati sadati (My lords and the ladies of my lords), I wish to inform all of you that there remains 24 hours from the writing of this post for the SALE on the HCOC Productions. Yes, that means the 20% off is ending TODAY! And yes, you …

Agape, Just a quick reminder: the sale is nearly getting over! Please help spread the word! http://www.copticheritage.org

The Heritage of the Coptic Orthodox Church is a choir based in Mississauga, ON, Canada that aims at preserving all the rites and hymns of the Church, using the most accurate sources for the hymns, primarily those from the recordings of Mo'allim Mikh…

Agape, You'll find the English text and an audio of this madeeha in the Spiritual Songs section of copticheritage.org - it's called "O Mary - Kiahk Praise Hymn" +++ In Christ, Bishoy
