Who we are

Who we are ?
Why Christianity?
Christianity is about Christ, and for Christians, Christ is God incarnated; he is God and man in one person, in one nature, and we believe in Christ as God, so we believe in God who we can see and touch because he became man.

So that’s very different from any other religion, because when you study other religions, you can see that many religions do not believe in a personal god or personified god, they believe in pantheism, in no gods or different pictures of god, in many gods, but in one personified god, which is Christianity.
Why Orthodox?
The word ‘orthodox’ literally means ‘straight opinion.’ The Orthodox Church has kept the same Christian faith and teachings since the time of Jesus Christ and His followers, the apostles. The Orthodox Church has a direct connection to the early Christian Church. The sources of Orthodox Christian teaching have passed from one generation to the next through oral and written tradition. These sources include:
Why Coptic?
The term “Copts” is equivalent to the word “Egyptians.” It is derived from the Greek “Aigyyptos,” which in turns is derived from the ancient Egyptian “Ha-ka-Ptah,” i.e. “the house of the spirit Ptah,” a most highly revered deity in Egyptian mythology. From the Arab conquest and until today, This term refers to the Christian Egyptians to distinguish them from the native Muslims.
