Same with my church. I'm in the states, and there will be a police presence as well, as the threat is not limited to Egypt.

I know of a Coptic Church in St. Thomas and St. Kitts. I know that's OO and not EO, but thought I'd add my two cents in anyway. :)

The apparitions of St. Mary in Egypt have historically occurred in times of trouble or during difficult times. This most recent apparition was not just one night but over several nights, and I read somewhere that she appeared again last night. Someone was asking why the videos are so poor...

Here is the Coptic Orthodox Church's view on halloween... Halloween – Literature – Resources – Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States

CS Lewis also has a good book called The Problem of Pain. It discusses mans struggle with the concept of suffering and evil in this world. In his book he gives a great example of how if God removed a source of pain or suffering from one person, it may indirectly cause suffering for another...

Hi Ray I haven't been around. Pray for me, as my health has become my own worst enemy again, and I've been pretty sick--like I was last summer. :( ...So, back to the Arabic thing, I'll go through these phases of really wanting to learn arabic, b/c people will start speaking to me in...

Ray.Sweha lived in Egypt for most his life and definately speaks arabic...don't you Ray? ;) He's oriental orthdox. God Bless!

The amount of English/Arabic/Coptic used during the liturgy and various church services often depends on the priest conducting the service and the congregation. On Sundays we have an am Arabic liturgy and an English Liturgy a few hours later. We have some priest that prefer to do the whole...

So, there's a book called Becoming Orthodox where a group of Evangelical Protestants set out to find a church as close to as what is described in the Bible. To find the true church that Christ established. It's a great read. Very interesting. God Bless!

Lets also add Egypt in there. The Copts (Egyptian Christians) are highly mistreated in their own nation. A nation that used to be Christian. ...to this very day they are persecuted for their beliefs.

This is completely normal. Weddings cost a small fortune, often $60-$90 a head. Most couples have at least one or two children, so the cost would add up so quickly, if everyone brought their children.

That is what monks wear. This link here Coptic Cairo has some information on it. God Bless.

"Have you seen the one I love?" is really an EXCELLENT book. I'm from the Boston church, and I know a LOT of time and effort was put in to make sure the translation was correct. I like HH's books in general, but with them always being translations, you sometimes feel like something is lost...but...

Wow, I'm happy so many people have been able to enjoy this book. Is the second book about him in a similar format? Once I finish this one--which should be in about a day or so, I was thinking of getting the other one about him. God Bless, Elizabeth

The book is so easy to read and as you said the stories make me smile or bring tears to my eyes. The strength that some have just amazes me. And not only everyday strength, but strength under such extreme circumstances. Another thing about the book is the depiction of the power of prayer...

Hey all, Has anyone one read this book, Father Arseny? I'm about halfway through it now,and it is fantastic!!! God Bless, Elizabeth

Not within the Coptic Orthodox Church it doesn't. God Bless, Elizabeth

Apparently there is going to be another mission trip this summer on June 1st through June 10th. My brother and possibly my sister are going. I wish I could go but my vaca for work is already scheduled for different days. God Bless, Elizabeth

My thoughts are that it is not our place to judge this man. He is human, just like you and I. Every human sins and our Lord Jesus Christ realizes that and therefore asks us to confess our sins and ask for His forgiveness. So I don't really see how it is your place to judge whether or not this...

happy valentine's day.... also me and my bf's 6 yr anniversary! yay! :)
