I think most have been said concerning remembering hymns, so there's no need to type more about that. As for Psalms we had one nice idea from one of our priests. He wanted to have all the kids remember one psalm every month for ALL the sunday school…

I don't think anyone disagrees on fasting the 9 hours right before the communion. If I'm correct jshouk was asking about the reason why the fasting seasons of the church are linked to communion. For instance, if I didn't fast the first week of Lent,…

I have very mixed feelings about technology in church. Deep down i'd absolutely prefer using books or having the people know the liturgy by heart. However, we run into some practical problems. First of all, a lot of people don't take any books with …

I thought it was about Tuna with hummos lol

U'd start on the F and you need a E-quarter tone and a G# (G + half tone, so the black one right after the g). If you dont have a E-quarter tone, you can use the D# instead, it will give a more accurate tone than the regulair E.

Oriental has nothing to do with what kind of instrument you use on a keyboard. On an oriental keyboard there's specific buttons with which you can change the tones to become quarter tones. Aspasmos Adam needs a quarter tone, but could be played wit…

IT's interesting to note that the Lakaan of Covenent Thursday is done after matins, but then again, that day has unique rites when it comes to so many things. Anyhow, it seems to me that the timing of a Lakaan doesn't make a very big difference. Bap…

The problem does not only lie with the role model cantors like Ibrahim Ayad. They are quite far away for a lot of us. I mean, when I was a kid, I used to listen to the recordings and found them to be a great inspiration to learn from (compared to th…

No reason to apologize. You're right its quite an uncommon practise. If we didnt have priests who very much care about praising and the church rites, i'd probably have never heard of any of these prayers. I must say, the most tiring thing is to go t…

There actually is a Vespers for Nativity and Epiphany, there's gospel readings for both. Vespers is prayed before the midnight praise and matins, in the afternoon, which is after the liturgy of the Paramon. Resurrection doesnt have Vespers, only mi…

I don't mean to minimize the suffering of this woman due to terrible injustice, but there's a lot of very very cruel stuff that happened throughout history to this day! You'd only have to read into the genocides of Rwanda, Cambodja or Darfur to know…

I suggest we all meet up in the UK and have a conference with Fr Peter ;) Thanks TITL for ur nice words, i really dont deserve them. Please don't leave.

Perhaps both maqams could work, bayati worked fine for me ;D

Look at this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Arabic-scale_bayati.png The second note (the mi or e) has this B thing in front of it, but its not a regular one. Normally it means you lower half a tone, but when it looks like the …

Agios sounds better on "maqaam bayati", an oriental scale with a quarter tone on the mi/e and a si-mol / bes.

After many years of legal soft drugs in the country that I live in, they did research the long term effects of weed. Psychiatrists and others have proven a link between the use of cannabis and the incidence of schizophrenia/psychosis, depression and…

I agree with TITL :D

The lyrics were the problem Mina :P

Butterflies do not remain for the rest of your life. Feelings are not stable, they change. At the other hand, if there's no chemistry at all, according to what anba Bola advices, continue the relationship and see what time does. Feelings can develop…

Thanks so much for the many Bible commentaries by Fr Tadros! Every time I go to Egypt i try looking for new books, but it seems they dont print the new ones anymore. But PDF's are fine lol, im really happy we have all the gospel's complete + the act…

St Mark preached to his people in their own culture/language: coptic. Now it is ur turn to also preach further to those around you, whose language is not coptic. It's that simple. One day God will ask each one of us: What do you do with the Truth th…

Good question ILSM! I felt like sharing a small story; we had a servant from Egypt who thaught her sundayschool class full of 8 year olds, that we need to learn coptic cause the angels praise God in heaven in coptic, they say Agios!!! Yah, i know, i…

Is suffering post-death/judgement day considered punishment? I get this question a lot in sunday school actually. If punishment is for the sake of the one who punishes, then what is the point in God creating a person who ends up refusing to repent a…

Hi Tifou, great production, it turned out awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it benefits many deacons of the future generations in france, that they all may pray in unity in the language that suits them the most (whether coptic or french). As to those …
