“How much I wept at Your hymns and canticles, deeply moved by the voices of Your sweetly singing Church!”

Daniel Girgis, ordained SDn. Augustine in the Coptic Orthodox Church, has received his Master of Arts in Theology degree from St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in 2021. He has also received his PharmD degree from the SUNY University at Buffalo in 2019. His research focuses on preserving Coptic tradition through the combination and reconciliation of both the oral transmission of Coptic chant and the analysis of liturgical manuscripts; using these two factors to identify and restore authentic and proper ritual practice in the Coptic Rite.
