Athanasius of Alexandria

Race discrimination has become a huge problem. The issue isn’t as bad as it was in the 1900s, but it is still bad. Remember The Titans and Hidden Figures are both movies about race discrimination and how everyone accepts each other for who they are and not their skin colour at the end.

Because I am a Coptic Orthodox Christian, my religion and culture have always been intertwined. However, I used to view my education as apart from them, as there was only one other Copt in my high school and there were none in my elementary or middle school.

In just a matter of weeks, I found myself at home within the Coptic community here. I have recognized a few of its…

Jesus not only died for the sins of mankind but did so in a way that could bear witness to the world.

By late 324, the churches of the East were sharply divided between Arius and Alexander. Presbyter Arius came into a direct disagreement with Bishop Alexander. It appears that Arius reproached Alexander for what he felt were misguided or heretical teachings being taught by the bishop. The disputes over Arianism were enormously significant both for the churches and for the Roman Empire itself.
