The True Church
In our Coptic (Egyptian) Church, and many other churches in the middle east, we fight for permission to build churches (1). Meanwhile, we forget about building the True Living Church; the Body of Christ. We spend millions to erect new buildings and call them churches. Meanwhile we pay little attention to the poor, the sick, the widows and the orphans. Our bishops buy fancy cars, hold fancy feasts, while whole Egyptian families are very poor and starving!!!
Shame on all of us including myself.

(1) Building a church in Egypt is not easy. According to the law, Copts are required to get the permission of president himself.
