I love hearing more about the viewpoint of Coptics, they're seemingly underrepresented in viewpoints in a lot of discussions in the US!

Your comments mirror a lot from my Egyptian friends. Thanks for sharing.

I have some Coptic friends as well. They’re fantastic, and very proud of their Coptic heritage.

Alexandria was also very influential in early church theology and one of the primary bishopric “sees”. Interestingly they call their head bishop “pope”.

Also Coptic and Ethiopian iconography are gorgeous. They’re simplistic, almost cartoonish, but very artistic and emotional [1, 2, 3].
