The little cap is for full deacons only, not anyone in the diaconate. Since full deacons are not really common at all(outside of the LA diocese) and Egypt you don't see it as often, its not that the cap/crown are dying out, there just aren't many de…

As far as I have heard, Muallem Tewfik and Zaher are the only two to have recorded the entirety of Mighalo. I listened to a recording of muallem fahim and he does not say the whole verse, but ends it like most do with agios isheros, agios athanatos …

I don't see the big deal, if they do this with everyone and are good people even when they are not around people then take their blessings. If not, be frank with them. Its that simple.

Do these people think they are really saints? You could just be frank with them, and say i need a simple answer not a sermon. Also are they giving good advice while doing this or is just simply pulling out Bible verses and such? Best thing in my opi…

Rakeb means you take a tune and put on other words without them necessarily being "set"

There isn't an english recording of it online but i have a decent arabic one. I'm not sure who made it, pm me your email and i maybe able to send it to you.

Are you sleeping enough? Sleep consolidates memory so its very important to get a good nights sleep. Obviously the generic answer is pray. But prayers work wonders. Go to a doctor and get yourself checked out if its truly this serious. Maybe your mi…

You guys don't necessarily have to post on specific days, read and as you go along post your questions/insights any day you do. I find that if you try and set a day and something happens and the other person can't make it you make get discouraged, t…

Well whatever was wrong with it might not be fixed but it should revert back to the way it was format wise if he has vista.

Just restart your computer in regular mode and everything should be back to normal. Just by turning it off and on/restarting it, will put it back to the way it should be.

[quote author=SuperMAN(BAM) link=topic=8814.msg111165#msg111165 date=1267031979] lioness of God... I think its best what you are doing... when I go grocery shopping, its always a scene because I will literally read every little thing in these ingr…

Giving up foods is simply the outward expression and motion of the fast/Great Lent. It is said, that if you can control your exterior passions(things relating to flesh, hunger, food etc) then you can control your interior passions and actions. Which…

The deacons should never be sitting while chanting. I hope you mean as they get up to chant after the sermon. It changes from season to season. Annual is Oniatio, Kiahk changes from the first 2 weeks, to second two. Lent is Je peniout on Sundays and…

The issue is not only the translation but the actual rendition of the hymn. From one church to another you will not find the majority chanting the same. Some will chant the English based on how it is done in arabic, while others do it from Coptic tu…

With all due respect Certified, I don't understand why you are complaining on here? Do you think you will find justice on this forum? If so you are mistaken. Are you looking for sympathy or are you just trying to bash on Coptic priests? Either way y…

Also after his reign there was peace for a long time and King Constantine came into power and declared Christianity as the religion of his huge empire. So really before the arab conquest there were a few hundred years where there was peace.

The difference is the Father is considered the Source of all. The Son was begotten of the Father before all ages and from eternity. The Holy Spirit comes from the Father because He is the Source. "But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the FATHER …

Guys, something that we have to remember, is that the unity we have in most churches concerning the hymns is actually VERY recent. Before the recordings of muallem mikhael there were variations in what was chanted from church to church. For example …

The Psali's (the majority at least) are in alphabetic order, which was a means of helping memorize the verses before books were published and such

That church is not after HH Pope Kyrillos the VI but the first who is known as the pillar of faith who was in the 5th Century and was at one of the Ecumenical Councils

Ioannes, if you are less than a full deacon(a true deacon) then you are still laity. Sub-deacons and lower are not considered part of the clergy. If you are a full deacon than forgive me for this post.

Guys... you act as if these patristic writings, discourses, books are not readily available to the common person. If you truly want to learn, start yourself by finding these writings(which are readily available) and questions you come across, go to …

That is not necessarily true, I know the LA Diocese is working on a theological library and many of the servants who work in it are in their early 20's late teens, who are of course overseen by priests who are well versed in theology I would presume…

Oh my mistake I mixed up Tobi and Barmouda

Yeah its the farahi tune, and you say the doxologies for the resurrection, annunciation and nativity. There is a combined psalm response, and you say all 3 gospel responses. For psalm 150 you switch between each response after every verse.

Another day when a council was being held in Scetis, the Fathers treated Moses with contempt in order to test him, saying, 'Why does this black man come among us?' When he heard this he kept silence. When the council was dismissed, they said to him,…

As Tony has greatly put, things in general don't change ritually too much from season to season. However, something that is different is that liturgies are held (in general) at the end of the day(sunset) instead of in the morning and you fast the en…
