The 10 books that helped my on my journey to the Coptic Orthodox Church
I've made pit stops in about every Apostolic communion on my spiritual journey, but, ultimately, ended up making a home with my family in the Coptic Orthodox Church. It seems that more people are discovering the Oriental Orthodox Church and it's beauty, but, for many, it's still not a "live option". This isn't my attempt to convince anyone to convert, but I wanted to share some books that helped me become familiar with the Coptic Church along the way in hopes that more people will discover it's beauty. ⏳ Timestamps 0:00 – Intro & A Long-Overdue Return 1:12 – Thoughts on Internet Religious Debates & Personal Mission 3:20 – Overview: 10 Books That Led Me to the Coptic Orthodox Church 4:07 – Book 1: A Silent Patriarch – Biography of Pope Kyrillos VI 7:10 – Book 2: On the Unity of Christ by St. Cyril of Alexandria 10:01 – Book 3: My American Flight to Egypt by T.
