let us love one another, for love is of God
Having read through this whole thread I decided to join this forum - mainly to say a big thank you to Minasoliman, whose posts here really do deserve to called awesome!
Those who ask why he is being defensive are missing his point; he isn't. He is simply stating the truth about the Copts and about the Oriental Orthodox generally.
I am a convert to Orthodoxy, and, being from the UK, the first place I looked was towards the Eastern Orthodox; but it was with the British Orthodox Church that I found the Christian spirit for which I had been searching all my life; and I discovered this was characteristic of the Oriental Orthodox.
I worried, at first, about the charges of Monophysitism, but soon came to see how utterly unjustified they were. But comments like those of Mina here were just so helpful, not just in refuting the slanders, but in helping me to understand the fullness of Orthodoxy in the Coptic tradition.
So, Mina, and others here, thank you so much -
In Him,
Anglian
