i haven't met or even heard about …
The deacon can not touch the blood, He can only hold the cup and assist the priest in giving the communion, but the priest can touch the body and the blood, ex, if he is giving communion to a baby, he dips his finger in the blood and puts it in the …
By no means a stupid question, I suggest you use the septugaint since its the most accurate translation around. If you have the new Orthodox Study Bible that has all the old testament thats preferable to these translations. Our canocal books are as …
The first hymn you posted is Agios Isteen(O Kyrios) its a glorification hymn for the Trinity that is said after Shere Theotoke during any glorification of any saint. And of course the second link is for a tamgeed for the archangel as the title said.…
There is always hail to mary, you could also possibly say ya meem reh ya meem even though that is a madee7a for teoi enhikanos during kiahk, but i think it would be ok. Also I praise the virgin(amdah fel batool), Sorry i don't have the text for thes…
I seriously doubt that will ever happen, the form of worship we have is not going to change just because the coptic church has crossed from Egypt. Yes English maybe used more but it won't become "Americanized" as you put it. Just because we live in …

I have a question, do the British and French Orthodox churches have their own hymns and everything that suit their culture.... if they did I'd be very interested to hear a …
Well if there is a balance than thats not a big deal, im sure there aren't liturgies entirely in arabic when there are youth present. If so that isn't right because then the youth get lost because of the language barrier. But i still wouldn't go so …
Actually there is really no need to sacrifice anyones culture whatsoever, the issue is being in communion with each other, once that happens there simply will be no need for another orthodox church because at that point you can go and see what fits …
Well, the issue here is that the US doesn't have a united culture to base the liturgy off of. For example the British orthodox and the french orthodox(Daughter churches to the COC) took liturgies they had currently used in the past like the liturgy …

I don't really understand the issue cause asthma medication is generally an inhaler which you aren't drinking or eating so i don't see how thats breaking the fast, talk to your FOC to be safe
Of course its great to expect tomorrow will be a better day! Everyday you should wake up thanking God for a fresh start and a new day with new opportunities! Also keep a positive attitude, if you think tomorrow will suck then guess what it just migh…
OK so now i have a question..Gad lewis has something up called Alel nos elil(alel of the middle of the night) when is this said??? Also is this the ale you guys are talking about? I thought the ones you are talking about is the one that is labeled w…
And there are also people who are taking entry exams for college such as ACT's and SAT's as well as people taking exams into entry for graduate schools all year round. So yeah prayers are always needed for students :)
Definitely take tony's advice! He's a wise man! Some people only learn the hard way and some learn from simple advice, hopefully you don't have to learn the hard way because its nothing but heartache in the end! Keep God on your mind and heart alway…
