History of the Recent Coptic Orthodox Popes by Nader Rizk Pdf

This is to all the Coptic people wherever they are, in Egypt or anywhere else on this earth. I do not intend to insult anyone but to tell the Coptic that they do not know about their own church and its history and the mistakes that were done in the twentieth century and the twenty-first century. This book will be a reference to any person who likes to know the truth and historical record of the facts. This is also a record of incidents that happened in 1955 and 1963. These two incidents have been forgotten, and nobody has mentioned them or thought of them anymore. Everyone should know these incidents and know that the hand of God made these incidents without interference of any mans hand. It is a shame that there no one has pointed out these mistakes from the people or the clergy or the thinker. In the year 1974, I asked Anba Bakhomious the question that will be the topic of this book. His holiness Bakhomious could not answer me and smile. But I got a big punch in my stomach from a priest that was sitting on my right. Now I am writing this book before the bishop and before I leave this world because I am seventy-six years old, and I dont have many days left on this earth. The reason for this is one statement from the Bible: For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up . . . (Ps. 69:9).

The A to Z of the Coptic Church by Gawdat Gabra Pdf

During the first century, Saint Mark brought Christianity to Egypt and in so doing, formed the basis for the Coptic Orthodox Church. Today, Copts, members of the Coptic Church, compromise the largest Christian Community in the Middle East. The Coptic Church is more than 19 centuries old and has produced thousands of texts and biblical and theological studies. During the last half of the 20th century, however, economic and political discrimination has forced between 400,000 and one million Copts to emigrate from Egypt, with the majority settling in North America and Australia. The A to Z of the Coptic Church details the history of one of the oldest Christian churches. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and more than 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important people, organizations, and structures; the theology and practices of the church; its literature and liturgy; and monasteries and churches.

Coptic Culture by Mariam F. Ayad Pdf

In May 2008, the Coptic Orthodox Centre in Stevenage, UK organised a conference on Coptic Culture: Past, Present, and Future. The conference aimed to highlight the contributions and achievements of one of the most obscure periods of Egyptian history: the Coptic Period. The importance of this period lies in its valuable contributions to some of the most formative theological debates of Christianity. Strictly defined as a Late Antique culture, spanning only the third to the seventh centuries AD, the heritage of the Coptic Period still survives today in the artistic expression, liturgical services, and heritage of millions of Egyptian Christians who live in Egypt and abroad. This period's lasting contributions, however, remain underappreciated and many of its aspects remain unclear or unknown to the general public. For the first time, the conference at the Coptic Centre brought together specialists working on all aspects of Coptic culture, from its earliest phases to the present day. One of the aims of the conference was to highlight new research on Coptic art, writings, and archaeology. By bringing together specialists, academics and Coptic clergy, the conference fostered an active discussion of what defined Coptic identity in centuries past and what it means to be Coptic in contemporary culture, both in Egypt and abroad. It is important that we draw on, understand, and appreciate the rich cultural heritage of this period as we look to our past to inform our present and define our future. The conference drew scholars from Australia, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the USA. Their papers were organised along 5 general thematic blocks that dealt with (1) The Egyptian roots of Coptic culture; (2) How do we know what we know: Archaeological Sites and Museum Collections; (3) Aspects of Early and Medieval Coptic Culture: Case Studies; (4) Current Trends in Coptic Studies; and (5) Coptic Culture Today and where it's heading. This volume contains their contributions.
