To: struggle

There is a large, new Coptic Christian church near where I used to live. I was invited by their priest to attend the blessing of the church by the Coptic Pope. It was a fascinating mix of old and new.

What was really interesting was how recognizable the service was even though it was largely conducted in a language I had never heard before.

We need to make room for these persecuted Christians. They are very hard working and value education. The Copts I know will make very good Americans.

The beauty of the Coptic Christians in a special way and of the Eastern Christians in general is the beauty of their liturgy and prayers, plus the icons.
