Coptic Culture and Community: A Virtual Book Discussion
Registration
Details
It reveals the humanity of the Coptic tradition, giving granular depth to how Copts have lived their lives through and because of their faith for two thousand years. The first three sections consider in turn the breadth of the daily life approach, perspectives on poverty and power in a variety of different contexts, and matters of identity and persecution. The final section reflects on the global Coptic diaspora, bringing themes studied for the early Coptic Church into dialog with Coptic experiences today. These broad categories help to link fundamental questions of socio-religious history with unique aspects of Coptic culture and its vibrant communities of individuals.
Book editor, Mariam F. Ayad, Associate Professor of Egyptology, The American University in Cairo, Egypt, will be in conversation with contributors, Carolyn Ramzy, Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology at Carleton University, ON, Canada, and Helene Moussa, Volunteer Curator, Coptic Museum of Canada.
