The question

Is it wrong to attend another denomination church service when invited by a friend?

The answer

Have you ever invited your friend to your church? If you have, what was their impression and have you ever picked up a chance to talk to them about the difference in faith between the two Churches? If you have not, why not? Think about it this way: you should influence others not be influenced by them. Believe strongly in your heart that our Coptic Church has the true faith and that your responsibility as a child of God is to bring others to the knowledge of the Truth. I admire the Protestants' cleverness in bringing people to their church. I wish we would imitate them in attracting other denominations to our Church.
