Most Coptics belong to the Oriental Orthodox Churchs, and the Coptics are in semi communion with the Eastern Orthodox Church. There is work on full reunification.

Some of the people I have talked to resist the idea of reunification on an emotional level. Other see independence from Rome as a tradition. Recognition of some Coptic Marian apparitions (Our Lady of Zeitrune) is a start. As a Catholic I hope this trend toward reunification continues.
