Well i would love to see a written source that explains this in a better way. The only one i have access to now is an old version of the Muharraq liturgy book where it clearly written that:The psalm is to be chanted and on the third 'hink' (estikhon…
- The "Trailer" or tawaf is really there to extend the reading/chanting of the psalm until abouna proceeds around the altar (yatoof) to have everyone take the blessing of the gospel.
- The tune of the tawaf is to follow the tune of the psalm
- Maroo…
I am not so sure i am comfortable with that reasoning. the marriage sacrament is different priests ordination or bishops in which the ordained is given a specific grace/gift to pass on the Holy Spirit to those who are they baptizing.
It just, i di…
The order is simple:PopeMetropolitan (if more than one, you consider seniority)Bishop of the dioceseOther bishops (if more than one, you consider seniority)
Now about grouping, i believe its whatever suits you....

I have too many comments on what Zoxsasi said...and i'll try to be calm in this warm and partially boring work day:
Thanks CoptiCopa for your relentless effort. I know its been hard talking to people on this forum. I apologise on their behalf for th…
Can I just add or quote the Saturday Theotokia:
"O you who is without sin, and pure,The Saintly in EverythingThe One who presented to us God,Carried Upon Her Arms"
(Ti-atsolep ensemneh).
That is a trouble translation from the coptic or even the a…
The Father stress that she had stopped sinning after the dwelling of the Holy Spirit in her at the Annunciation. I can see hymns saying that she is sinless, not considering time.
I brought this discussion back just because i found out some new information about chanting tee shory and tai shory in weddings, only because it's wedding season (or atleast it was) and many are printing custom books with tai shory.
Specifically for…
@minatasgeel please try to let the forum take its course naturally. Some of us are following along with the discussion too without posting and it's more helpful if we can see the whole issue too without having the people discussing limit their posts…
Im so confused.
I'm lost even. You seem to be all going around in circles if not contradicting yourselves.
Why can't someone just explain to me, in simple language:
IF Adam was just a representative for all mankind, and as a person, didnt even exis…
As promised....this discussion is reopened since the survey was opened today for everyone to participate in. You will need to do so through copticworld.org
There are one of two choices. Either that nature of the gift of immortality is created or it is uncreated. If you're giving me the "I don't know", then why you do get bothered when I tell you "I don't know" in my [email protected] answer…
it has to do with the PC's resolution....it's not about if "it can be done" or not...it's about the pc you are viewing on it. Also, the menu and the presentations are totally separate. the menu is created in flash...and the presentations are simply …
We have been arguing about this topic and i see no end to it.....so how about we be concise and objective in everything we say from now on.....8 pages people!!!!!
Hi Beekay,
Thanks for your response.
Is evolution a fact? Did we, as humans, evolve from apes?? Yes or no?
Is five pages of comments not good enough for you to answer that question?!
it's not really a bishops staff, it's just a leading/shepherding staff. and many old priests/hegumens had them. they even had a similar "3emma" to bishops. how far are we talking?!....i am not really sure, but i have a picture of an old priest with …
