Has anyone here heard about the talks that were going to take place between EO/OO Patriarchs? I'm starving for info on what is going on and if any progress is being made, but I can't find any.
Any word on talks?

Me too!!!
I think at the moment there has been stagnant progress, which is sad. I suppose there still needs more time to evaluate one another.
Perhaps, people like Fr. Subdeacon Peter Theodore might know.
God bless.

Good idea! I can't wait for the day when our churches are once again in full communion. I know they are in heaven already!

Well TAW is more active than the OO forum (*nudge* you need to get more copts on here!!! *nudge*) so maybe you could put one there and ask for it to be a sticky. And people could also post any updates on talks or any joint activities between the churches. For example, I know that the Orthodox newspaper that used to be only in Arabic and only Coptic now has an English version that covers ALL Orthodox news. Stuff like that could be added. =)

I'd love such a stickied thread! 
EDIT: With reunification, would it just be "Orthodox" or would there still be the Eastern and Coptic before it?

Not sure about the "Eastern" part, but I like to think that "Coptic" would still be used when applicable.I'd love such a stickied thread!

Would the Eastern Church adopt the other 2 OT books Coptics use, or what?
Ah, I don't suppose it matters now. Wait for the actual unity first.

I'm not Orthodox, but I still wish to express that I believe that thread is a good idea and I support OO/EO unity (and eventually the unity of all Christians)

I mentioned this already, but have you checked out the English language version of the Orthodox newspaper? It's pretty cool.

I don't know. They hand them out at my church. They just started printing them in English several months ago and they carry news for all Orthodox - Copts, Armenians, Greeks, Antiochians, Russians, etc. It's pretty cool actually. And a nice newspaper. It is not a new news paper, it just used to be only in Arabic and I think mostly Coptic whereas the English is all Orthodox.

I was talking to my priest about this issue yesterday. Apparently, he was visiting his wife at the hospital (knee replacement surgery) and parked in a clergy spot and as he was heading back to his car, he saw another man in a cassock with a pectoral cross and asked if he was an Orthodox priest and the man replied that yes, he was the pastor of St. Mary's Coptic church nearby. Apparently they got along quite nicely and are both interested in having some fellowship between our churches. Even if we can't share communion yet, just being able to be nice to each other and love one another is a great start.
