Interview of Bishop Samuel, of the Coptic Church of Egypt, during a visit by the bishop to Toronto to visit members of the church there. He talks about: the history of the Copts; the church rituals; the bishops work and the three main North American areas where Copts live - Toronto, Montreal, and New York City.~There is also an interview of Father Markos, the sole Coptic priest serving the far-flung congregation, about: his work; the difficulty in getting the church established in North America; living conditions; adjusting to life in Canada; the need to use churches of other denominations until the Copts build a church of their own; and the need for financial help from Egypt. His wife, Mrs. Markos, also talks about adjusting to life in Canada.~Actuality of prayer, chants, and music from the Coptic Mass are interspersed with the interview clips.
