Coptic Koinonia

by Tony Saad

The Coptic Community is blessed with many members of different interests and talents. Part of being faithful with the blessings God has given us is to enrich all those around us. As St. Paul eloquently says, "But now indeed there are many members, yet one body." Here we talk to members of the Coptic community about their passions and talents, so we can grow together as one. Our spiritual lives are intertwined with all other aspects of our lives, so it is important that we never stop opening our minds to what our brothers and sisters have to offer. Our strength is in the unity of our members.
