Description
by Veronica Khalil (Author)
Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers: The Coptic Orthodox Embrace of the Other is a powerful exploration of faith, identity, and reconciliation within the Christian Church. Drawing from Scripture, patristic wisdom, and contemporary theology, this book examines how centuries of history, cultural traditions, and inherited patterns have shaped the Coptic Orthodox response to diversity - and how the timeless message of the Gospel calls believers to radical unity.
With clarity and compassion, Veronica Khalil addresses pressing questions at the intersection of Orthodox theology, racial identity, and communal life. From the mystery of the Holy Trinity as a model for harmony, to the transformative role of theosis, liturgy, and iconography, each chapter provides both deep theological reflection and practical steps for building inclusive church communities.
Readers will discover how:
- The Holy Trinity models unity without erasing distinct identity.
- Theosis (divine transformation) dissolves barriers of prejudice and division.
- Scripture and tradition reveal a vision of belonging that transcends culture.
- Historical struggles of the Coptic Church can inform present-day challenges of race and migration.
- Practical theology and education empower believers to overcome fear of "the other."
- Eucharistic worship embodies the ultimate expression of Christian oneness.
At once scholarly and pastoral, Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers is a timely resource for clergy, theologians, and lay believers seeking to embody the Kingdom of God in a fractured world. It challenges communities to move beyond cultural boundaries and embrace the fullness of life in Christ - a life where unity, justice, and hospitality are not ideals but lived realities.
If you long for a deeper understanding of how faith can heal divisions, foster inclusion, and renew the Church's witness in today's diverse society, this book will guide and inspire you.
