Our conversation this week is about “Making Christ real in the home.” As
Orthodox Christians this is an important question: How do we make Christ
real in our homes? It is so easy to just become Sunday Christians where,
Christianity becomes to some people at least, something that they do on
Sunday only. What about the rest of the week? Their ways, attitudes,
language and behavior may be far away from Christianity completely. How
then do we make Christ a central part of everyday family life? Tune into
our conversation to learn more about this important subject. -
This episode rotates around the topic of Coptic immigration to North America. Copts began immigrating to the US as early as the late 1940’s. After 1952, the rate of Coptic immigration from Egypt to Canada and the United States increased. Immigration to Canada outpaced the US until the inauguration of more lenient procedures in 1965. In general, Coptic immigration rose steadily throughout North America, Europe, and Australia in the coming decades. We see a further influx of Copts to the US and Canada after the 2011 revolution in Egypt, fleeing instability and violence there. With hundreds of Coptic Orthodox churches in the United States alone (along with over 90 congregations in Canada), it is estimated that there are over one million Coptic Orthodox Christians in North America. Coptic immigration has so many facets to it and we obviously cannot cover everything in one episode, but we will discuss some important aspects in this episode.

This is an interesting conversation with the author of "Putting Joy into Practice: Seven Ways to Lift Your Spirit from the Early Church." The author of this book is Phoebe Farag Mikhail from Northern New Jersey. In her inaugural book she describes what joy is and isn't. She also shares stories from her daily life to highlight how to implement the seven ways of living joyfully from the early Church.
