Coptic Orthodox Church, in its continuous commitment to the prosperity of humanity, believes that it has a leading role in development from both a cultural and social perspective. The Coptic Church represents the collective-consciousness embedded within Egyptian society, because of its unique origin which is deeply rooted in human principles and Christian morals. BLESS represents a practicing model for both Egypt and the Coptic Church as a developmental entity, which is an extension for the role of the church and presents a live model for the society.
