The answer
No, the Coptic Church does not follow the practice of circumcision. Circumcision in the Old Testament was a symbol to Baptism in the New Testament (Col 2:11,12); hence the absence of the need for circumcision according to the Canon of the first Council in Jerusalem (Acts 15: 23-29).We don't believe in purgatory or in Immaculate Conception, these beliefs were introduced into the Catholic Church after the eleventh century, which means that the Catholic Church did not believe in them for more than eleven centuries.
