The Coptic Church was
established in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ by St. Mark the Evangelist in the
city of Alexandria around 61 A.D. The church adheres to the Nicene
Creed. St. Athanasius (296-373 A.D.), the twentieth Pope of the Coptic Church
effectively defended the Doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ's Divinity at the
Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. His affirmation of the doctrine earned him the
title; "Father of Orthodoxy" and St. Athanasius "the Apostolic".
