The French Coptic Orthodox Church (Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a Coptic Orthodox jurisdiction centered in France.
According to a 2020 survey, Orthodox Christians make up 1% of the French population.[1] However, this may be split across several orthodox denominations.[2][3][4]
History
Coptic immigration to France began as early as 1801 after the French Invasion of Egypt and there was significant immigration after the 1952 Revolution in Egypt.
The church was canonically instituted by Pope Shenouda III on 2 July 1974 as the French Coptic Orthodox Eparchy. On 18 June 1994 Pope Shenouda raised the status of the eparchy to the French Coptic Orthodox Church, a newbody.[5]
The church was headed by Metropolitan Marcos until his death on 11 May 2008.[6]
