Hi All, :wave:
Are there any converts here to Coptic/Oriental Orthodox Churches here? If so, could you please post some of the reasons why you converted, and from what Christian tradition (if any) you converted?
In Christ,

Hi DanielRB,
I converted to the Holy Church from the Protestant church of Martin Luther. The reasons for conversion are strange, but I felt the Light of Christ to be present in the Coptic services where in the Lutheran Church not as much. The Coptic people are fantastic and they have made me a Finnish person seem to be very much Coptic. The focus is on the Pascha of the Lord Jesus from death to Life and that is the main reason. The theology of the Cross although nice is not the central meaning of being a human being alive in the Lord Jesus Christ. For me Orthodoxy is LIFE both the Coptic and Eastern Orthodox are there.
