Saint Mark H.H. Pope Shenouda III 5 To my blessed two sons: Hegomain Fr. Marcous Elias Abdel Massih and Hegomain Fr. Tadros Yacoub Malaty. Peace and love be with you. Dr. Mahfouz has visited me and brought with him the suggested Sunday school curriculum for the land of immigration. I have studied with him the basic topics of the curriculum without getting into details. Although that I have pointed out some concerns on the doctrine and dogma curriculum, it is clear that the amount of work spent on preparing the curriculum is huge and worth thanking. Nonetheless, the Bible study part of the curriculum needs to be increased. God willing, I will also send you additional details on this curriculum. May the Lord bless all the effort that our son Mahfouz has done in preparing the Sunday school curriculum, in collecting the relevant topics, and in performing the translation of subjects. May the Lord also bless all those who have joined him in preparing this project and those who revised the topics. Let our goal be performing our best to try and arrive at perfection given what we have from abilities. Lastly, I would also suggest the addition of different recognized pictures according to our doctrine, dogma and history to the Sunday school curriculum. May the Lord be with you. Be in peace.

  • Arab-‐West Report, May 26, 2014 St. Demiana's Monastery: an Oasis Of
    Arab-West Report, May 26, 2014 St. Demiana’s Monastery: an oasis of spirituality Author: Weston Bland Photos: Weston Bland On Friday, May 16, as part of a group of diverse national and religious background, I had the opportunity to attend the moulid, or festival, of St. Demiana [Dimyana] at her namesake monastery in the villaGe of Demiana in the district Barrary-Belqas in the Egyptian Delta. In general, the trip, orGanized by the Center for Arab-West Understanding, provided a fascinatinG look into the dynamics of a popular reliGious celebration, as well as into the lives of the nuns that live and work on the grounds of the monastery. St. Demiana’s festival is a popular Christian celebration that attracts larGe numbers of visitors every year. Traditionally, the celebrations include activities both within the monastery complex, as well as on the Grounds surroundinG the complex. This year however, the outside celebrations were significantly scaled back due to security concerns; these concerns were underscored by the heavy security presence we encountered at the perimeter of the festival Grounds upon arrivinG. Ultimately though, such concerns seemed to have had little effect in deterring the significant crowds of the faithful that still turned out for the celebration. Crowds inside the monastery; photo: Mother Theoliptie photo: Weston Bland External festival Grounds; photo: Mother Theoliptie After enterinG the monastery complex, we were quickly directed to the primary church where prayers were taking place. In the front of the hall, our group was given a brief audience with Metropolitan Bishoy, the Orthodox Metropolitan for Damietta, Kafr al-Sheikh, and the abbot of the monastery.

  • 1 Peter I of Alexandria Coptic Fragment Anthony Alcock
    1 Peter I of Alexandria Coptic fragment Anthony Alcock The fragment in question was catalogued by É. Amélineau in his Catalogue des Mss coptes (1889) and first published by Carl Schmidt as 'Fragmente einer Schrift des Märtyerbischofes von Alexandrien' in Texte und Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der altchristlichen Literatur 20 (1901) fasc. 4 pp. 50ff. Peter I was the 17th Patriarch of the Egyptian Church from 300 to 311. He had held office for three years before the Great Persecution began. During his patriarchate there was an internal threat to the Church from Arius and Meletius, the former on doctrinal grounds, the latter on ecclesiastical political grounds1 and the external one known as the Diocletianic or Great Persecution, which broke out in 303 and came to an end in 311. Peter spent several of his patriarchal years hiding from the persecution and was finally executed in 311.2 The organization of the text does not make for easy reading, and I have decided to copy it as a continuous horizontally-oriented text, each page followed by the English version, so that anyone who wishes can consult both text and translation with ease. This after all is not a work of scholarship,3 but, I hope, one that will be useful to those with a casual interest in the language and church history. The text is from a 9th cent. White Monastery library codex and is now in Paris, where it bears the inventory number Paris copte 1305 fols. 123ff. It is written in the 1st person, either as a sermon or a letter: the speaker identifies himself as Peter (p.

  • The Effects of Egypt's Civil Uprising on the Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church
    Forced Out of the Walls: The Effects of Egypt’s Civil Uprising on the Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church (A Case Study) by Sameh Hanna A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Knox College and the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by Knox College and the University of Toronto © Copyright by Sameh Hanna 2018 Forced Out of the Walls: The Effects of Egypt’s Civil Uprising on the Kasr Dobara Evanglical Church (A Case Study) Sameh Hanna Doctor of Ministry Knox College and the University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church is situated one block away from Cairo‘s Tahrir Square, the primary location for the vast majority of the historical events of the January 25, 2011 revolution. Cairo‘s Tahrir Square and the Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church (KDEC) continued to be the principle focal points up to and including the June 30 uprising some three years later. During this period of massive change in the history of Egypt, the Coptic church realized the need for political action in the face of persecution, and Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church was a focal example of leadership and service in this new Christian activism. For the first time in the history of Christianity in Egypt, Christians ventured out of the sanctuary of their churches to protest against the traditional oppression of government. The theological understanding and leadership provided by the pastors, leaders, and members of KDEC encouraged significant change, including a new rapprochement between

  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church
    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).

INTRODUCTION Mahragan Alkeraza 2014 As we celebrated the conclusion of last year’s Mahragan with the distribution of the trophies for the first, second and third place winners, we were grateful for God’s blessings for a successful 2013 Mahragan. His Holiness Pope Tawadros II said during the Awards Ceremony in Egypt, “I am happy to see the activities of the Youth Bishopric, I am glad that our beautiful Church that is 2000 years old is full of young youth and I am proud to see the creative work and achievements of the youth.” We were also blessed to see that the Churches in Upper Egypt participated despite the sad and cruel events their Churches were subjected to last year. Last year, in addition to the usual participation from Egypt and Sudan, we had a great worldwide participation from 192 Churches representing more than 20 countries and 8 languages. The theme for Mahragan 2014 is “You shall be witnesses to Me” (Acts 1:8).
