  • Greetings, I do not mean to confuse the issue but I am wondering if someone would be able to explain His Grace Bishop Youssef's answer to this question: Question: Is St. Mary's body and spirit in Heaven or Paradise? Answer: St. Mary is in Paradis…
  • Greetings All, In my experience, EO have come to the Coptic Church through Chrismation only and not baptism. Also, I looked at the website of the Southern Diocese of the United States where His Grace Bishop Youssef has a question and answer sectio…
