Everything about The French Coptic Orthodox Church totally explained
The
French Coptic Orthodox Church (
French:
Métropole copte orthodoxe de France) is an
Oriental Orthodox church and an outgrowth of the
Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria.
History of the French Coptic Orthodox Church
Coptic immigration to
France began as early as
1801 after the
French Invasion of Egypt and there was significant immigration after the
1952 Revolution in
Egypt.
The Church was canonically instituted by
Pope Shenouda III on
July 2,
1974 as the French Coptic Orthodox Eparchy. On
June 18,
1994, Pope Shenouda raised the status of the Eparchy to the French Coptic Orthodox Church, a new, self-governing body (the church is integrated within the Church of Alexandria, but is considered autonomous in matter of governance).
Currently, the seat of the head of the French Coptic Orthodox Church is vacant (following the death of
Metropolitan Marcos in 2008), although H.G.
Bishop Athanasius still serves the French-speaking Coptic community in France, being a member of the
the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Priests in the church serve in cities across France.
