The Coptic Club, consisting of mostly second-generation Egyptian students, met Wednesday with guest speaker Bishop Serapion of the Diocese of Southern California and Hawaii, to celebrate the end of the three-day fast of Jonah. Copts belong to a minority Christian religion concentrated in Egypt. Today, the Coptic faith ‘mdash; similar to Orthodox Catholicism ‘mdash; has followers worldwide. Serapion was invited to give a lecture; he chose the importance of giving in religion. During a question-and-answer session afterward Serapion garnished his responses with Arabic, and club members who understood translated for those who did not. According to John Muir College senior and Coptic Club principal member Jackie Tanios, the group has grown from three members to nearly 40 in her time at UCSD and hopes to expand outside the Coptic religion, and Egyptian heritage, as a forum for academic discussion ranging from issues of sexuality to evolution. Currently operating as a Facebook group, the Coptic Club tries to hold weekly meetings, but attendees should be prepared for what Tanios calls Egyptian time ‘mdash; everything starts a little more than casually late.
