Faith: 9/9 (Oriental Orthodox, Alexandrian tradition) Choir: 4/5 (Very organized, the choir is harmonious and M3alem Albair is the bomb. What felt different was the communion hymns: they started with Psalm 150 followed by , then some taraneem. I trust that m3alem Albair knows the rites inside out but those songs felt more like Sunday school than liturgical. They had occasional solo singing rather than 2 choirs but overall good execution) lcons: 1/5 (no Coptic icons, paintings all around the church, including prophets and saints where the Bosom of the Father should be for a couple of altars. Most paintings were alright except the disciples, each of them looks at you in disdain or like they were forced to be portrayed [some pictures attached]. Woodwork is alright, not a big fan of the layout though) Covid friendly: 6/5 (super good. Ushers were doing a great job. What's great about this church is that you don't need registration to attend. First come first seated in the nave, and the overflow sits in the cafeteria so everyone has a chance to attend the Liturgy on the Lord's day) Projector: 4/5 (Screens are visible throughout the church, but they don't use Coptic Reader, so some phrases are a bit off)
