desertman Member Registered: 09/01/08 Posts: 211 Loc: USA	Quote: The Bishop’s threat to leave Egypt taps into worries within the Coptic community and the country at large that Copts will leave if Egypt becomes more Islamic. Others are arguing that they have already begun to do this. http://byztex.blogspot.com/2012/08/coptic-bishop-to-his-people-it-might-be.html

griego catolico Member Registered: 12/10/01 Posts: 1066 Loc: Sunny California	I've been told during my past visits to Saint Antony Coptic Orthodox Monastery in the California desert of the Coptic patriarch's residence moving to the monastery if it becomes necessary.

8IronBob Member Registered: 08/15/12 Posts: 766 Loc: Parma, Ohio, USA	I agree. I live near a Coptic Orthodox Church here in the Parma area (actually it's in Seven Hills/Independence), but I can tell that there needs to be more support to keep this faith alive. I know friends from high school that go there. Also, I think the Pope of the Coptic Church usually visits up at that church as well.

Rybak Member Registered: 08/28/08 Posts: 340 Loc: Oregon	Our current administration's undaunted support for the so-called Arab Spring is working out really well for our fellow Christians isn't it? We exchange dictators for Islamist radicals. The Maronite Patriarch has called it a "cold winter" for the Christians of the Middle East. Yet another reason, in my book, for "regime change" at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!
