Sorry for the missing sidewalk in front of our church! Neither we nor the 48th ward office were notified. Please watch your step on the asphalt. Visitors needing an easier path to you in the building can call you for entry via Kenmore Ave. Do not prop doors or let strangers in

Worse—some of you are dragging in new tables, setting them up with polished brass and velvet ropes, collecting power, money, and privilege while stepping over the people Jesus embraced.

ICE went to a nightclub in Memphis around 1 AM and reportedly loaded more than 100 people onto buses and vans.
We are at the point where federal immigration agents can descend on a space in the middle of the night, detain masses of people, and leave families scrambling to figure out where their loved ones were taken.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

The Coptic Church is part of Christian Orthodoxy and is as old as the Roman Rite. It is led by a pope who traces his authority from Mark the Apostle—just as the Roman pope traces his lineage from Peter the Apostle
