About the Coptic Church:
The Coptic Church dates back to the year 40AD and was founded by St Mark the Evangelist in the city of Alexandria in Egypt.  One of the first and greatest leaders of the Coptic faith was St Athanathsius.  There has been very little change in the ritual or doctrine of the church since the early days.  The Orthodox Christians of Egypt, Sudan, Armenia, parts of Syria, India and Ethiopia are the main followers of the creed of the Coptic Orthodox Church.  There are communities of Copts all over the world and many new communities are still forming, particularly in Africa.
