Pope Shenouda has made it clear that the COC accepts only Abouna Antonios as patriarch of Eritrea. Is there an ongoing effort on the COC side on the matter? I know the BOC has done some advocacy work, maybe Father Peter or Mabosta can give us an upd…

Mabsoota In the Coptic Church we kneel on Saturday and Sunday. Even during the liturgy, which is on Sunday, the deacons command the congregation saying “Bow your heads unto the Lord”, and everybody kneel and bow down. However, on the weekends we don…
