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

• An invitation to speak at one of the largest Greek Orthodox Churches in New
York during the Sunday Divine Liturgy, which coincides with the Week of
Prayer for Christian Unity.
• All of the activities of the Office of Ecumenical Affairs and its Ecumenical
Officer have been under the direct supervision of H.H. Pope Shenouda III
along with the advice and guidance of H.E. Metropolitan Bishoy of Damietta
and H.G. Bishop Serapion of Los Angeles.
Future plans include the collection and uploading of the official documents of the
dialogues (and simplified explanations of said documents) of the Coptic Orthodox
Church on the Office of Ecumenical Affairs website, the preparation of a proposal for
a symposium on the Coptic Orthodox Church and her Ecumenical Activities, and the
promotion of better communication between the Coptic Church in America with the
other churches and organizations.
The presence of the Office of Ecumenical Affairs has made it possible for churches
and individuals to find a contact in the Coptic Orthodox Church for information, as
well as helping Copts learn more about the ecumenical activities of their Church.
As the Office continues to develop and establish its presence, it will grow in its ability
to serve both the Coptic community as well as the other churches and organizations in
America.
With a spirit of gratitude and filial love, I wish to express to Your Holiness how
honoured and blessed I have been to serve in this capacity and ask for Your most holy
prayers and Patriarchal blessings. May God grant Your Holiness many years!
Respectfully submitted,
Your Holiness’s unworthy servant,
Bishoy M. Mikhail
