- To bring Spiritual benefits through learning about the church: Bible Study, Church History, Dogma, Rituals, and lives of Saints; as well as learning the Coptic language and church hymns The Festival’s vision was set by His Grace Bishop Moussa, Bishop of the youth. Its aim is “the church unity and growth together in fellowship with one another as the body of Christ.” As His Grace was quoted: “The church is aiming to bring her children closer, the close ones to be grafted, the grafted to grow, the grown to serve and the servants to grow continually.”
