Off to a Coptic Orthodox monastery today for a tour with Bishop Damian. Should be good.
Here is Bishop Damien a few years ago teaching my kids about the Egyptian Orthodox cross.

thats the only regret of the festival i have, i would have loved to visit the monastery!
Nice hats worn by all. Which is your favorite?
Don’t understand why these “emergent” protestants are always so fascinated with monasteries and things Catholic and Orthodox.
Hi Julie. I guess its because the Orthodox were kind enough to offer their facilities for the festival that this photo was taken at. It might be just gratitude but it could also be a desire to ground our faith in Christ with the church through history. As for monasteries, read why i think they are preferred over seminaries here. http://tallskinnykiwi.typepad.com/tallskinnykiwi/2009/04/monastery-or-seminary.html
