The Creed of Chalcedon set forth the normative theological standard concerning the two natures of Jesus Christ (divine and human), thus rejecting various christological heresies (such as Monophysitism, the doctrine that there is only one nature in Christ, a belief still held by the Coptic Church).

Samples, Kenneth Richard. ‘Without a Doubt: Answering the 20 Toughest Faith Questions. p. 55

This is a fascinating and extremely well-done feature on the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, one of the five main episcopal sees of Justinian’s pentarchy and the only ecclesiastical jurisdiction other than Rome that is led by a Pope rather than a Patriarch.

Egypt: Gimme That Ol' Time Religion

Like many ancient civilizations, Egyptians were obsessed with religion and mythology. They pledged their love and devotion to more than 700 distinct deities entrusted to protect the natural order of all things (wind, water, sun, sky, etc.) from creation..

the church in the coptic monastery of the virgin mary in bethlehem, palestine. this unique church is built inside of a cave tunnel which connects it to the nearby church of the nativity. the holy family is said to have passed through it during their stay in bethlehem. saint helena, who established churches across palestine during her time, is said to have established this one as well. the coptic archbishop of jerusalem purchased this and four nearby homes in the 1950s, establishing the monastery and re-establishing the church. today, the site is maintained by two nuns.

On the early morning of Tuesday, March 12, 2024, Fr. Takla the Samuelite, along with Fr. Yostos Abba Markos and Fr. Mina Abba Markos, were martyred after masked terrorists attacked the Monastery of St. Mark the Apostle and St. Samuel the Confessor in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The three blessed fathers were reportedly dragged, viciously slaughtered and stabbed.

All three victims were found with stab wounds while a fourth who survived alleged that he was hit by an iron rod before fleeing and hiding. The murders remain unknown at this stage, as the suspects reportedly left the scene without taking any valuable items.

Information has been revealed.

The Monastery bell was rung between 2:30 am and 3:00 am for prayers. Father Takla was the first to head to the Church he was stabbed in the heart on his path to the Church. Father Mina heard something and ran to see what happened, he was beheaded on his path to see father Takla. Then the murderers went to Father Youstos and beheaded him on his rooms door step.

Fr. Hegumen Takla El-Samuely, Fr. Yostos Ava Markos, Fr. Mina Ava Markos, O holy martyrs, pray for us. May your sacrifice strengthen our faith and our Church.

"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." - John 15:18

WRT to Kai Winn I hold two opinions constantly at the same time

The writers and fans often position her in a way that is inconsistent with their world building by giving her more power than she actually has (thinking of her as a white catholic or evangelical when in universe she just isnt in that position) and the show occasionally gave her views that were "radical" in what felt like an attempt to delegitimize them

In 60 years Bajor will have its own version of the Hinduvta movement or some shit and they'll fucking love Kai Winn, because she has horrible politics and will have sown the seeds for their existence

#cipher talk #Most of my annoyance with the mainstream ds9 opinion is people don't get WHY she sucks #Because of this typology where she was intentionally written to remind them of a mean Catholic american teacher #Instead of one of the nastiest Orthodox Jewish women you could scrape out of a barrel or Coptic church bro #She has suffered! And she does understand politics in a way I sometimes agree with! But she's also terrible #She's like one of those guys on Twitter who acknowledges Copts are Indigenous and what that means for us but calls other Indigenous people #Slurs and evokes racist stereotypes against them because they aren't Christian and the Western churches were active in their slaughter #So they can't separate action against the roman catholic church from their own trauma

COC Coptic Orthodox Church

COC Combined Oral Contraceptive

coptic orthodox contraceptive (today i learned that some married coptic couple abstain from sex during lent. i hope they mean the 55 days of great lent and NOT the 240 days of all total coptic fasting periods became damn!!! i don't even think the church said to do that 😭 why 😭)

combined orthodox church. combined with who? that's for the reader's imagination <3

coptic oral church. uhhh

combined orthodox contraceptive. um.

#i'm trying to come up with more #i also learned that there's 2 difficulties for coptic lent #1- eat any time you want but only vegan (like everyone else's lent basically) #2- all food and water are off limits from midnight til sundown. after that you can eat but only vegan #and you're supposed to pick the difficulty that 'suits' you more according to what you can tolerate #i wonder if other churches do that? and i wonder if ours does that because of our proximity to ramadan? #or if this predates the arab conquest altogether? more to research on! #anyway my dad does all 240 days but on 'easy' mode (eat any time but only vegan) #i think people who do the 'hard' difficulty only do the 55 days because i can't imagine doing that for 240 days #asks

New for us on this visit to Cairo was the Coptic quarter. We went to a beautifully done Coptic Museum as well as nearby churches. The words COPT and EGYPT have the same roots.
