* Head of
the Coptic church. The word is a composite term originating from Latin and Greek
words: pater (father) د€خ±د„خدپخ±د‚ and archos (leader or chief). In the Coptic church
the term signifies the head of the entire
church organization with
metropolitans, bishops, and
priests under his
church authority. In the earliest
times the head of the
church was the
bishop of Alexandria, who came to be identified as Pappas, or
Pope.
