About This Book
The Making of a Diocese by Dr. Elhamy Khalil is a well-organized, informative book that enables American readers to become acquainted with a Christian church from Egypt, the Coptic Orthodox Church, relatively unknown in the United-States.
Whether addressing the origin of the church in Egypt, its inception and development in Southern California and Hawaii, the Clergy, the churches in a diocese, and the services the church provides, Dr. Khalil is factual, includes many pictures, and offers an interesting glimpse into foreign customs before they become integrated into a more liberal American tradition.
The Making of a Diocese can be of great value to newcomers to the Coptic Church and to scholars doing research in the many churches of America. In addition, it furthers the understanding and acceptance between worshippers. It is also a tribute to the United-States, a country open to varied pacifist beliefs.
