A Devout Buddhist Heard God's Voice For The First Time | Mother Theoliptie

In this video, we sit down with Mother Theoliptie, a Coptic Orthodox nun at the Monastery of Saint Demiana in Egypt, to hear her conversion stories. Mother Theoliptie was a devout Buddhist. She was not raised Christian, had no connection to the Church, and was not searching for it in any conventional sense. Then God the Father called her. A supernatural experience broke through everything she knew and drew her toward Christianity. What followed was a deliberate, serious search for the church that had preserved the fullness of the apostolic faith from the beginning, and that search led her to the Coptic Orthodox Church. In this conversation, we explore her journey from Buddhism to the Christian faith. How God made Himself known to her in a way she could not ignore. How she evaluated churches and why the Coptic Orthodox Church stood apart in its doctrine and its continuity with the early Church. How she met Pope Shenouda III, received his blessing, and heard God tell her that she would become a nun at the very monastery where she lives today. Whether you are an inquirer exploring Christianity for the first time, someone researching the Coptic Orthodox Church, or a convert seeking to understand what drew others to the ancient faith, this conversation is for you.
