The Coptic Orthodox Church Diocese of Melbourne and Affiliated Regions was established with the ordination of His Grace Bishop Suriel on 4th December 1999. This Diocese covers Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and New Zealand. It is the largest Coptic Diocese in terms of geography and its community has been growing quickly in last few decades.

This web site was built on the faith of providing a spiritual resource for the Coptic Orthodox community in the Diocese. So what will you find here exactly? Information about His Grace Bishop Suriel's background, multimedia content of the ordination and his monthly schedule. An extensive Diocese directory for the local clergy and churches, monastery, schools, theological college, hostel as well as links to worldwide church directories. A section is dedicated to various multimedia content like virtual reality, video, and audio which includes material from our current radio broadcasts. All the church news for important events and developments will be posted for people of all ages. An area of the site will dish out news on ecumenical work both locally and internationally so more copts can understand what with have in common with other churches and develop closer ties. This web site will provide many christian articles as it is a major priority of His Grace to promote Christian education and produce faithful christians. Part of the church mission is to educate non-copts about the riches of our traditions, faith and spirituality in the Coptic Orthodox church. Also, regular publications by the Diocese will be available for viewing like the bimonthly magazine Epsajee (the word).
