Coptic Church & Ecumenical Movement - Saint Mina Coptic ...

and demand of our faith and by the concern for the spiritual health and creative
service of our people around the world, particularly in our service to the new
generation in Sunday School and Youth meetings and activities.
We encourage the pursuit of greater collaboration in the areas of the Theological
Education, to bring into focus the living traditions of our respective churches.
Exchange of students and professors of theology is one of the immediate ecumenical
tasks that we recommend to our Theological schools and other centres engaged in
theological research and studies.
In view of our common care for the exchange of publications and news, our churches
have welcomed the translation of four books of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III to the
Armenian language and we look forward for more exchange of translations to both
Armenian and Arabic languages. Also we encourage the exchange of experience in
fields of new technology eg. Audiovisual and computer facilities.
The sound and healthy edification in the Christian faith of the children and the adult,
in accordance with the Orthodox doctrine and moral teachings of our churches, is
another area where we instruct our churches to create new and more relevant and
productive ways of cooperation.
We endorse the promotion of the social services of our churches particularly for the
poor and the under-privileged, for the sick and the handicapped. We suggest to all
our organisations with diaconal vocation and mandate to engage in increased and
concerted efforts in this area of need.
We pray with all the members of our churches for the establishing of peace and
Justice in the Middle East and Caucasus particularly in Jerusalem and Karubagh with
exception of violence all over the world. We pray also for the prosperity of our two
friendly peoples and Countries Armenia and Egypt.
