Coptic Orthodox Church in Europe
The Coptic Orthodox Church has many churches and congregations in Europe and on 2 June 1974 Pope Shenouda III received into the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria a native Orthodox Church in France known as the French Orthodox Eparchy, along with their Primate, who in turn was accepted after consecration into the Episcopate, in the Holy Synod of the Church of Alexandria and hence was appointed their Primate Marcos (Mark), as the first Bishop and Athanasius as Chorbishop of The French Orthodox Eparchy. There are 15 Coptic Bishops serving in Europe.
