Dogma and the Liturgyالعــمل و العـــــــقيدة

الجــماعى

The word "Liturgy" in classic Greek means "a public service " it comes from:1. "Liaw," meaning "People." 2. "Ergia," meaning "work."

الجــماعةالعــمل

The church used this term since the apostolic age, to cover all the worship which is officially organized by her, and which is offered by all her members, or on their behalf. Over time, this term has come to be particularly applied to the performance of the service of Eucharist.

There are other liturgies as the liturgy of Baptism, liturgy of

marriage etc.

The Coptic liturgies are correlated to the church dogmas and doctrines. Liturgies' rites and texts instruct even children in simple ways about Church faith, her concepts and dogmas.

Coptic liturgies clarify church dogmas without the need of any theological discussions, and at the same time gives genuine theological concepts that believers experience during their worship.

was incarnate and became man, and taught us the ways of salvation. He granted us the birth from on high through water and Spirit. He made us unto Himself an assembled people, and sanctified us by Your Holy Spirit. He loved His own who are in the world and gave Himself up for our salvation unto death which reigned over us, whereby we were bound and sold on account of our sins. He descended into Hades through the cross.

The Commemoration Of The Saints ألــــمــــجـمــــع

”These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.“)John 11: 11(

And as St. Paul called them )I Thess. 4:13(.“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.”

جهة من االخوة ايها تجهلوا ان اريد ال كالباقين الراقدينثم تحزنوا ال لكي. لهم رجاء ال 4:13تس 1الذين

THE SAINTS AND THE BOND OF LOVEThe Saints are dear brothers who have struggled like us and have departed to Paradise. They are not dead, but are sleeping, as our Lord said

. قد حبيبنا لعازر لهم قال ذلك وبعد هذا قالألوقظه. اذهب لكني نام

The Saints in Paradise are the members of the victorious church

We are members of the militant church.

The saints departed from earth, but did not leave the church; their love toward their brothers did not cease by their departure and dwelling in Paradise. Their prayers for the salvation of all the world never cease. They pray for us, and we venerate them as they are our holy and dear friends and family.
