Does the Church have too many rules? by Fr. Gabriel Wissa

About this sermon

Does the Church have too many rules? In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen. Sometimes Orthodox youth, or even adults, feel like the Church has too many rules… Some ask why does the Church have rules in the first place, isn’t the Church Divine? Isn’t God above rules? Why does the Coptic rite for example require us to remove our shoes before partaking of the Eucharist? Why do we need to fast 9 hours before? And so on. We begin to appreciate the purpose of such rules when we realize that the Church is different from any other entity in the universe. SUBSCRIBE TO COA! https://www.youtube.com/copticorthodo...
