COPTIC

a.Pertaining to the descendants of the ancient Egyptians, called Copts, or cophti, as distinct from the Arabians and other inhabitants of modern Egypt.

Whatever may be the origin of Copt, the adjective Coptic now refers to the people called Copts, who are Christians, and to their language.

COPTIC CHURCH

COPTIC CHURCH Coptic Church.

 

Defn: The native church of Egypt or church of Alexandria, which in general organization and doctrines resembles the Roman Catholic Church, except that it holds to the Monophysitic doctrine which was condemned (a. d. 451 ) by the council of Chalcedon, and allows its priests to marry. The "pope and patriarch " has jurisdiction over the Abyssinian Church. Since the 7th century the Coptic Church has been so isolated from modifying influences that in many respects it is the most ancient monument of primitive Christian rites and ceremonies.But centuries of subjection to Moslem rule have weakened and degraded it.
