  • Lol. U don't have to do all that I studied sahidic Coptic at my university. It's a very easy language to learn. French grammar is much harder than Coptic grammar
  • It's a symbolic thing. Before the cross he was in front of everyone because everyone is called to salvation. It's open to all people. But after the resurrction, he only appeared to a Few. It's symbolic because even though all are called, christ's sa…
  • Well, that really depends on where in Canada you will go. I'm going to assume toronto, because everyone lands there first, and there's a really strong egyptian community there. I'm from western Canada, so all I know about toronto is from hear-say. …
  • Hey! An albertan church will win! Because the convention this year is in ALBERTA!
  • Ioannes, I understand your frustration. I love my Coptic church more than anything, but I know it has its flaws. Nothing makes me sadder than when people don't show up for bible study and prayer meetings, etc. I used to be so diligent and showed up …
