... ~~that Christians belonging to the Indian Orthodox Church and Coptic Orthodox Church pray at seven fixed prayer times?~~ Source One: "Prayers 7 times a day are enjoined, and the most strict among the Copts recite one of more of the Psalms of David each time they pray."Source Two: "As a kid growing up in the Church, I always heard that we are supposed to pray a total of 7 times a day. But, I never really knew what that referred to. Where did the idea of 7 times a day come from? It was King David, the Psalmist, who wrote “Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments” (Psalm 119:164). In correlation with David’s model of prayer, the Church has developed 7 hours of prayer and they are as follows: 1. Evening Prayer (Ramsho or Vespers) – 6PM 2. Bedtime Prayer (Soutoro or Compline) - 9PM 3. Night Prayers (Lilio or Nocturns, with three “watches” or Quamos) – 12AM 4. Morning Prayer (Sapro or Matins) – 6AM 5. 3rd Hour Prayer - 9AM 6. 6th Hour Prayer - 12PM 7. 9th Hour Prayer - 3PM"

Article has been nominated on time. Earwigs copyvio or the dup detector don't seem to catch much. The hook is interesting and cited inline (note that the line uses links to convey the same meaning Oriental Orthodox Christians, such as Copts and Indians, use a breviary such as the Agpeya and Shehimo to pray the canonical hours seven times a day....)
I would just like to point out that a link in the hook, Indian Orthodox Church, redirects to an article that has a "needs additional citations for verification" template. Please could you try and sort this out (even though I know it isn't the article you created). Or maybe replace or rephrase the link? DTM (talk) 12:36, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:DiplomatTesterMan, thank you for your comments. Would you be okay with using:

ALT1:... that Christians belonging to the Oriental Orthodox Churches pray at seven fixed prayer times?

Alphabetical order of list[edit]

Most articles where you can not quantify by ratings etc have lists in alpabetically order so as not to appear to prefer one over another. I suggest placing that criteria to this article. 2405:6E00:2EC:3F25:5E32:AB50:E717:62A1 (talk) 06:14, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
