I have recently been researching the differences between the Greek and Coptic Orthodox Churches. I was on the suscopts Q&A page under Monophysitism and I was reading the responses to people who asked this same question. However, I noticed that the difference was a simple misunderstanding and that this split that happened in the Council of Chalcedon due to political reasons. Since we technically believe in the same thing, that the Lord Jesus Christ was both perfectly human and God in one being, is there any chance that our Churches will become one with the same beliefs, just as we, the Coptic Orthodox, are one with the other non-Chalcedonian Churches?
The answer
His Holiness Pope Shenouda III of Thrice Blessed Memory began the dialogue with the other Churches which helped correct the misunderstandings. These discourses continue today under His Holiness Pope Tawadrous II. We are all praying for the peace and unity among all the Orthodox Churches.
