My visit to Coptic Cairo was part of a more extensive trip that included most of the Coptic Monasteries throughout Egypt, all under the auspices of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, whom I had the pleasure of conversing with for nearly three hours at his Papal Residence. Perhaps I will come back and elaborate more on why and how this trip changed my life, for now suffice to say that I long to return, and hope that someday I can.
