Their website shows an English liturgy every Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m., which gives me the impression that it’s not their favorite thing ;-), but they have a social hour afterward, so it must draw some Copts who aren’t comfortable with the Arabic liturgy. Their 9:00 a.m. Sunday liturgy is described as “Arabic-English.” If they do a liturgy in Old Coptic, the only surviving descendant of the ancient Egyptian language, it must be only on special occasions.
One of my choir-ladies said that a Spanish-speaking deacon from a nearby church talked about going to the Coptic Christmas Eve liturgy, so they must be friendly. I’ll give them a call about an ecumenical visit. My oldest daughter and I went to a Marian prayer service at the Greek Orthodox church once, and they were very polite ... even when she suggested that an electric guitar might be helpful!
Sounds so intriguing... well, all of it except of course for the electric guitar recommendation to the Greek Orthodox. LOL!! HA! Too funny.
