Episode 4 - Feminism Foresight in the Coptic Church - Mariam Elias Coptic Koinonia

    • Self-Improvement

Feminism in the Coptic Church? Optometry? Mariam Elias, Rutgers Newark graduate and future optometry student, will help open our eyes about both (yes, pun intended). We often close our minds to ideas that might make us slightly uncomfortable to talk about. But doing so, stunts our growth as a community. The truth is our Middle Eastern culture sometimes clashes with our Coptic faith, feminism being a prime example of these clashes.  By addressing these ideas, we are being true to our faith as a church and bringing Christ into our daily lives.
