List of parables
My first file to share, for those who might find it helpful like me who tried to find something similar in my Logos library but failed to (perhaps was not using proper search string). This document didn't take a lot of effort (you'll notice by the very humble contents) but I'm just starting to learn to use the Personal Books tool and find it to be amazing.
If only I can find a way to automatically import new blog posts (those that I enjoy reading on the internet, sometimes with extensive references from the fathers and church documents) into word and compile them for Logos, this would be a dream come true. I suppose I can manually copy paste into word, reformat and such and then compile, but I'm hoping for a more automatic way

I haven't looked at what's included in your file yet, but isn't this under copyright? The webpage certainly seems to indicate that.

Thanks! I have removed the link until I get permission to post.
Peace and Blessing to you, Sleiman! *smile*
While you're waiting for that permission, perhaps you'd like to take a peek at a resource that most Logos users have in their own libraries. This resource (and there are a few others in my library that also include them) has a list of Jesus' Parables ... Jesus' Miracles ... and a whole host of other "stuff"!

Forgive me (if I need forgiveness!), please; however your Avatar name for some strange reason causes me to smile! *smile*
It reminds me of a brewery at Guelph, Ontario which is about 30-40 miles East of Toronto! Very famous brewery for the young people who are "hip," or "cool" or some other modern-day synonym
Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........
Peace and blessings to you as well Milford.
Thank you so much. I have that resource but did not find that when I did my search. I searched for "list of parables" but maybe should have tried "list of the parables" or list NEAR parables.By the way I live north of Toronto and I get that a lot whenever I meet new people. I pretend to be the owner of the brewery sometimes but I'm not very convincing [:P] My name is the Arabic version of Solomon meaning man of peace. I'm originally from Lebanon.
It seems you chose the right subject for the right day: they just put the Classic Studies on the Parables of the Bible (30 vols.) on CP.[:D]
Maronite?

Family root is from a small town in Galilee (Kafr Bir'im)
Ah! Know about that one, both politically and archaeologically. I drove the road a couple of kilometers south of there a few years ago, coming from Rosh HaNikra, but is was dark by then so I can't say I remember anything. Actually, the main thing I remember from that drive was being worried there was something wrong with the car. Car troubles on a deserted road just south of the Lebanese border after dark on Erev Shabbat didn't seem like such a good idea.[:)]
Coming to think of it, I read about Bir'im recently. It seems that Swedes -- probably Syrian Orthodox -- are helping Maronites from Bir'im and Iqrit, now in Jish, to revive their spoken Aramaic: http://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/archaeology-today/cultural-heritage/group-seeks-recognition-of-aramaic-language-and-maronite-heritage/ (don't miss the 'Read more' link, which is where Bir'im is mentioned).

Wow you're among the extremely few in the world who knows about it while not being from there. I find this to be amazing, is it just because of general interest in the area or do you have personal ties? My father, now 87, has started to lose his memory but can vividly remember the village before he left as a teenager and keeps telling me stories. I cannot wait to take my kids and show them, but they're a too young now.
Interesting. The video in the article as you might already know shows the kids chanting the Qadishat Aloho of the maronite liturgy in Syriac (a derivative of Aramaic). Its translation of course is Holy is God, Holy and Strong, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us. (Hagios OTheos etc. in greek)Don't give me too much credit.[:)] The name alone probably wouldn't have triggered any memories, but, yes, I knew there are evacuated and demolished Christian villages up there, at least one of which has a church still standing. I know I've read at least one article about former villagers going up to their church once a year, plus I read that article in BAR recently. I might have read it anyway, but the Swedish connection naturally made it more interesting, so I also followed it up with a little googling: seems a group from Jish was here in July, together with a larger group of scouts from Jerusalem (video). And the Bar'am synagogue is on my [very long] list of things to see in Israel (the problem with that country is that the more I see, the longer that list becomes [:)]).
Didn't know Elias Chacour was from there, though, or about the München connection (where, btw, our queen was head hostess in charge of the VIP's, and therefore sat in on the internal police briefings and so on).
No, I didn't. I still haven't been to any Eastern Liturgies, except for a Russian Orthodox one in London long ago.[:$] Not sure if I even looked at the video the first time I read the article; I know I didn't before I wrote the above. Was it that text that inspired your triple posting.[:P]

and that I did not know about either until I read the Wikipedia article. Very upsetting. Well... I very strongly recommend you put it on your calendar starting with the church nearest to you: Maronite, Melkite, Byzantine, Coptic... [:D](That took me a while to get it!)I hope you're still subscribed to this thread.
a) I found this video some days ago, which I think may interest you.
b) Did you know Jerome claims that St. Paul was from your part of Israel: Anyone ever heard of this before?
c) Have you seen that Logos has hired a new guy for the Orthodox market: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/60311/475613.aspx#475613?
d) Have you seen Please vote for my new Uservoice/CP and Uservoice/Prepub suggestions :-)?
As for
you're living in another world than I do.[:)] I know of two Eastern rite Catholic churches in the entire country, and one of them doesn't have a priest. There may be one or two more by now that I don't know of, but generally Eastern rite Liturgies here take place in Latin rite churches (and would most often be Chaldean). Before the US started its little war and drowned us in refugees, we hardly had any at all.
Syrian-Orthodox churches would be somewhat easier to find, as would Russian/Serbian/etc Orthodox, but, remember, these are all immigrant churches, with congregations only in major cities, and Liturgies in languages so foreign that I would hardly have a clue what was going on. I'm not sure there's even a handful of congregations that's moved over to Swedish.

Hi fgh, just saw this thread this afternoon.
Yes thank you so much. Very interesting indeed!No 1st time I hear of it. This is also intriguing.Yes, I read this and was very happy to know that. Hopefully we'll see some wonderful eastern literature make their way into logos.Yes and I gave 3 votes each for your suggestions [:)]Perhaps you're related.[H][:D]
Impossible.[;)] (That would require 21 prepub votes, and you only have 10.)
Like I said: most Eastern rite Catholics here have come in the last 10 years.
Also, immigrants to North America generally come voluntarily, to improve their lives, so they come wanting to become American. Immigrants to Sweden generally come because they've been forced to flee for their lives. For Middle Eastern Christians that means that their main reason for being here is their burning desire to preserve their religion, language and culture. They've survived 1400 years of Muslim rule; they're not about to give up now. Especially the Chaldeans seem very determined to pass it all on to the next generation. Coming to think of it, the Poles still insist on Polish Masses, and they've been here many decades longer, and don't exactly come from a culture that risks extinction.
