Yes, the split was actually 3 ways: Roman, Coptic, and Eastern Orthodox.

For some reason I want to think they are sort of an offshoot of the Roman Catholic chruch, sort of like Greek or Russian Orthodox, but am not certain.
Edit: Ooo, now I remember. They are actaully the Egyptian Christian Chruch and they stand against the Islamic religion that so rules their country. They are very old-fashioned in their practices and can trace their origins back to the Apostle Mark who brought Christianity to Egypt.

Hiya...
I heard a radio program by a local Coptic
church and I was very impressed.
From what I can tell they stick exclusively to
scripture. I really loved the hymns... because
what they were doing was singing Bible verses..
such as the Lords Prayer.
I intend to visit this place... its 25 miles
from me, but I think it will be worth it.
At the very least I want information on the
CD's they where playing. I think it may have
been in house recorded.
I have never heard of this group before.. so I am entering with caution. One thing that worries
me is that they are very organized and even have their own Pope.
On the other hand this seems to be a deeply
spiritual bunch of people.
Peace
Rich
