His Holiness Pope Tawadros II Holds an Open Discussion with the Youth of the Fifth LOGOS Coptic Youth Forum

This evening, the Fifth LOGOS Coptic Youth Forum for the youth of the Coptic Orthodox Church organized an open discussion with His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark. The session featured questions from the youth on a wide variety of topics, to which His Holiness responded.

The participants asked their questions spontaneously, and His Holiness answered them with a fatherly spirit, offering them much encouragement. The questions covered various spiritual, ecclesiastical, and life-related topics.

Before the youth’s Q&A session, there was an introductory quiz segment about His Holiness, where the participants answered through a voting system before His Holiness revealed the correct answers.

The LOGOS Coptic Youth Forums for attendees from around the world consistently bear the motto “Back to the Roots”, while this year’s forum is held under the theme “Connected”. This theme affirms that our Coptic Orthodox Church is grounded in a continuous connection between its fathers and children, whereby the sound faith is passed down from generation to generation. The forum coincides with the Church’s celebration of the 17th centennial of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea. The theme “Connected” also reflects our connection to one another, to our communities, and to the tools of our present age—with openness rooted in our faith—fulfilling the commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ: “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world”(Matthew 5:13–14).
