Tanks== Changes for the morning of May 11, David Dias2016 ==

My father-in-law, Victor Pokrovsky, : Hi! Thanks for all your work. The wiki was the choir director long overdue for Metan upgrade (c. Sergiusf. So many of the pictures [[OrthodoxWiki:News|news]] )... I tried first running 1.27, and then 1.26. Turns out that hitcounters were [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120216 removed]] from his collection that my wife now hascore in MW 1. Also26, Matushka Maria from so I've moved the site back to 1.25 and added the Nagoya Church has given [[mw:Extension:HitCounters|HitCounter extension]], so we should be ok moving forward. Let me electronic copies see what I can do about recovering those edits. (It was a question of reverting before many edits were made or losing the hitcounter history, going back to 2004...) — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) 18:10, May 11, 2016 (UTC) — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) 18:10, May 11, 2016 (UTC): ...and please do let me know if you see any other issues.::No problem! :) I'ancient' times m just kind of noticing the churchdifferences. Sometimes I loose track got a whole bunch of what server errors for a couple minutes there, but I'm sure that was from the upgrade (I don't get them anymore either). I may have access am determined to.get the counter on the front page to 4900 (and hopefully beyond that!):::How does [[Bulgarian_Eastern_Orthodox_Diocese_of_the_USA,_Canada_and_Australia|this]] look?::::Awesome!

== A brother's attack Hello Father John,I have created a page on the Coptic Church Nuns of Alexandria ==Shamordino of Solovki Prison and Vorkuta Gulag. I would like to submit it for publication. How can I do that once the page has been created in Sandbox?

Please carefully read HH Pope Shenouda III's [http://wwwThanks very much.copticchurch.org/Texts/Spirituals/Natofchr.pdf ''The Nature of Christ''] before attacking us! Also watch [http://realserver.goarch.org/ram/en/bartholomew_interview.ram HH Patriarch Bartholomew I video] and his comments on the Coptic Church and her perfect Christological position. Those who invented monothelism were the Greek Orthodox. "The ease with which Egypt was conquered by Muslims appears to have been due to the treachery of the governor of Egypt, Patriarch Cyrus [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04597c.htm], Melchite (i.e., Byzantine/Chalcedonian Orthodox, not Coptic) Patriarch of Alexandria, and the incompetence of the generals of the Byzantine forces. Cyrus had persecuted the local Coptic Christians. '''He is one of the authors of monothelism''', a seventh century heresy, and some supposed him to have been secretly a convert to Islam." I appeal to Fr John to interfere in this matter, and until resolved I won't be contributing to Orthodox Wiki any longer. In Christ, --Arbible Robert

Thank you very much! I requested only "administrator" permissions, but I see that I got more than I asked for. I hope not to disappoint anyone. God help us! --[[User:Sîmbotin|Sîmbotin]] 05:32, November 10, 2016 (UTC)::Thanks for your work Sîmbotin.

httpFr John, I have left a lengthy question about contraception and the Theology of the Body over at [[Talk://wwwBirth Control and Contraception#The_Theology_of_the_Body]].orthodoxunityI've benefited from what you have contributed in that talk section.org/state04I am reaching out in good faith to see what I can learn from other people. If you have any comments, either public or private, they would be very welcome.html

== On Patrick Barnes' site == This site does not "speak for the Orthodox Church" as its Webmaster rightly states in its 'About this Site' page. The page http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/ea_mono.aspx has many errors; for exampleHello, its stating that we haven't excommunicated Eutyches, which is totally wrong, as we all know. Thanks. God Bless.   == .father..but Is it is an external link == No it does not speak possible for the Chalcedonian Orthodox churches, but it clearly states that and it is offered as an external link which the reader of Orthodox wiki may or may not click on at his or her own discretion. -Julius ==Details==I would be happy if the details of this discussion could be presented in a dispassionate manner on the Oriental Orthodox page. Remember, the goal is us to present the thinking behind the different sides of the issue. get username changes? I hope this could be a great tool for mutual understanding. [[User:FrJohn|Fr.

Done [[Fourth Ecumenical Council: Coptic Point of View|as suggested]]. These are all public domain articles (the Coptic Synaxarium text is not copyrighted, neither are HH Pope Shenouda III writings, of which also only a short excerpt is presented (fair use), and/or are 1990s Coptic apologetic writings intended by their writers for wide dissemination by all means (at that time via mail lists and early Web sites). They have been lightly copyedited, e.g., correcting the names of Emperor Justinian and Proterius the Melchite Patriarch, and adding relevant external links. These Coptic apologetics also appeared in our freeware work, Encyclopedia of the First Millennium of Christianity 1998 - Second Edition. See also http://www.monachos.net/mb/messages/4225/ORIENT3-20256.doc (not sure SeraphimRP if Orthodox Wiki should also keep a copy of this important historical document). It states (among other key declarations), "''The (Chalcedonian) Orthodox agree that the Oriental Orthodox will continue to maintain their traditional cyrillian terminology of 'one nature of the incarnate Logos' (mia fusiV tou qeou logou sesarkwmenh), since they acknowledge the double consubstantiality of the Logos which Eutyches denieds at all possible. The Orthodox also use this terminology. The Oriental Orthodox agree that the Orthodox are justified in their use of the two-natures formulaAlso, since they acknowledge that the distinction is ‘in thought alone (th qewria monh). Cyril interpreted correctly this use in his letter there any way to John of Antioch and his letters to Acacius of Melitene (PG 77, 184delete user sub-201). to Eulogius (PG 77. 224-228) and to Succensus (PG 77, 228-245).''"
