i know this is really random and some might think its inapproptiate but just out of curiosity are there any famous people who are coptic orthodox? maybe they can help by getting the religion out there to the public like wat Tom Cruise is doing for scientology(a load of crap) and wat Mouhammed Ali did for Islam.

    I'm not quite sure if this is as accurate as I think it is, but isn't Hany Ramzy the famous actor a coptic christian or is he a christian?? I'm not as sure though, please correct me if I'm incorrect!!

    Forever,
    Coptic Servent

    There are stories about how Bob Marley converted and became Ethiopian Orthodox towards the end of his life.  This is something which is very contentious and the Rastafarians have denied that no such conversion ever occurred. Bob Marley's wife however has been a very strong witness with the Church affirming that they did convert back to the religion of their fathers.
