Statement Regarding Sudan
The Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States stands in full solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Sudan. We lift our prayers in supplication, asking the King of Peace to grant peace and protection to the country of Sudan and to our Coptic people in the Coptic Dioceses of Omdurman, and Khartoum, and in South Sudan, where an internal War started on Bright Saturday morning and continues to this day. Hundreds of families have fled their houses due to the internal conflict, and many remain trapped in their homes with shortages of water, food, power, and bare essentials.

History
Of the Coptic
Orthodox church
The Coptic Orthodox Church is an apostolic church, not only because her founder is St. Mark the Apostle who ministered in Egypt, ordained a bishop, priests, and deacons to aid him in his ministry and was martyred in Alexandria.
The Coptic Church is sometimes accused of exaggerated conservatism and refusal of concessions. As a matter of fact she is not stagnant or stolid but faithful and conservative, preserving the apostolic life, and desiring to offer the gift of faith in all its aspects throughout the ages.
