We have all these texts, yet they are not there for a reason.
The kiahk hymns, there are too versions of text, even in just considering the Arabic, so putting a specific version out there complicates this more.
The Theophany Laqqan just needs some…
Hello,
We are also working on a unicode font suite of our legacy CS fonts. That is the reason why we haven't pushed unicode on the forum. Yet, in the Coptic font page on copticchurch.net has already moved to applying unicode with a CS keyboard layou…
I am locking this post... Not because I agree or disagree, but because this is a purely political situation. I won't delete the post, because you have an opinion, and it is a Christian one. But, continuing to speak about this on a religious forum wi…
@minamakarEh. We cannot ignore the fact that local traditions are important. But we cannot take them and generalize them for everyone to say. Shed light on them, yes... preserve them, yes. But there isn't a need to justify the need to have everyone …
The Coptic Church says take it. In fact, it was a recommendation by the Synod in its last session a couple of weeks ago:"Supporting the spread of awareness concerning each individual’s responsibility towards the entire society, and the importance of…
"من كان طاهراَ فليقرب ومن كان نجساً فليخرج إلا لأن يحترق بنار اللاهوت""Who ever is pure let him approach, and who ever is defiled let him leave so he doesn't burn from the fire of the divinity."
Atleast i think this is what you are taking about. But…
I don't disagree with you, but we cannot consider exceptions to be the rule. Exceptional individuals or incidents will always exists--Christianity as a whole is not so black and white... otherwise would never ever be saved due to our sin every day.
What is added to the consecrated Myron is called "khamira"... Which literary means "yeast" but it also means "the same of what you are making more of." The Myron khamira is basically the Myron consecrated from older years. Now, it's that we have the…
@Daniel_Kyrillos, so, what I have concluded from the application of the rules set is it really refers to ordaining monks into the priesthood rather than setting them as monk. Here are 2 things to consider:1- A monk or a nun are not "ordained" but th…
In essence, it's not about being a specific age... it's about visiting the monastery regularly. You can't just come from no where and goto a monastery and say, i want to become a monk.
I shocked everyone the day i got engaged because everyone though…
Hi,
First, please DO NOT scrape the site. You know well that this makes it slower to anyone on the site as well.
Second, the text on the site is still being worked on. It is not final. Therefore, it's not really ideal to scrape the text once (not t…
That's an interesting question. Normally, people ask if there is a minimum age for monasticism rather then a max. In general, the answer is, it depends. In Egypt, i was told different monasteries are based on different schools and thus have differen…
@ShereTheLord...That was the goal when it was established, but that was never made true...yet, they are for sure a great source.
The problem with all this is there are too many local traditions that need to be considered and/or reconciled to truly h…
Cantor Ibrahim Ayad is ordained a full deacon by HEM Pakhomios during the time when the throne was empty. He is a consecrated full deacon, so he can administer the Blood.
He's just another source but by far the clearest and the most well know in th…
I found it. Yes, there was a mistake in the english text (duplicate from another paragraph)...that's a copy and paste mistake that's specifically in that page--it was not a mistake in translation.
And, like minamakar said, the text we used is 'pot'.…
