[quote author=Andrew link=topic=12897.msg151711#msg151711 date=1328995479] The hymns are meant to deliver the faith to us, to explain how the church interprets the Bible. If we aren't understanding the hymns, what's the point? [/quote] There is some…

[quote author=Copticandproud link=topic=12901.msg151685#msg151685 date=1328980949] How come we only have St. Cyril's, St. Greogry's, and St. Basil's? [/quote] Quick answer: because we are Copts and they are Ethiopians. They have their own liturgies…
