[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III







The tongues should be appropriate, in order and without confusion. The gift of Speaking in tongues filled everyone at the time of the Apostles, but the Apostle insists that the gift should be disciplined. He says: “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace” (v.33) and “If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret” (v.27).
