Now I'm worried about what was said about us!

That's it, those craaaaaazy Copts.
We've been having a weekly meeting to discuss a book we've been reading during Lent. Usually about a quarter to a half way in it just turns in to a free for all for everyone to discuss different things. I think we were actually talking about peoples experiences in different churches and an older cradle Orthodox couple mentioned that when they went to Egypt they visited a Coptic Church on a Friday afternoon and were amazed by how much activity there was in it. We also have one family that is mixed Byzantine/Coptic Orthodox in the parish which I didn't know about until last weekend. Father also said the current Coptic patriarch is a very saintly man. |
