Sunday; the second day of the Fourth LOGOS Coptic Youth Forum, witnessed many varied sessions, which began with the Divine Liturgy at dawn, which was led by H.H. Pope Tawadros II. This was followed by breakfast, after that, Businessman Karim Sami Saad also gave a talk on the steps to establish and develop your own project.
The evening period included workshops, one of which had His Holiness participating in extensive discussions on many topics that emerged from the youth’s questions, as he spoke to them about the Coptic Church in Egypt and its current spread outside it. The other groups’ workshops were: handicrafts, a panorama about artificial intelligence (AI) and how the church service can benefit from it , and a Bible study group.
They also spent time with the “Panaroma El Barsha Troupe”, the stars of the film “The Brink of Dreams,” which won the Golden Eye Award for Best Documentary Film at the Cannes International Film Festival. It is the first Egyptian film ever to win one of the Cannes Festival awards, during which the team’s experience was displayed as a successful societal model with a message.
The second workshop dealt held a Bible study that focused on the forum’s theme, “Take a Step.”
The day concluded with the Midnight Praises, prayed by the youth in a joyful spiritual atmosphere.
This fourth forum discusses four topics within the framework of its title, “Take a Step,” which is to take a step towards: God, yourself, your community, and your Coptic identity.
Since its beginning in 2018, the LOGOS Coptic Youth Forums have embraced young people from all the dioceses of the Coptic Orthodox Church outside and within Egypt. “Returning to the Roots” is the slogan for the youth from outside Egypt, whilst that of the youth forums for those from within is “Enjoying the Roots.” LOGOS Coptic Youth Forums aim to instil the spirit of joy in a practical way in the souls of young people, who are the future of the Church, and to train them to come into contact with the love of Christ amid the pressures and preoccupations they face in their daily lives. This is in addition to enjoying the roots of our Church and our country, Egypt.
