My name is Michael Ghaly, I am Egyptian.  I live in Alexandria, Egypt.

The idea for this site came to us many years ago (about 1997)!!! but it started to get its official look in the beginning of 2001, after showing what I have made over the years to the current priests of the church.. who have been very open-minded, and provided much information needed for the site..  And finally the site was inaugurated on August 20, 2002.

Thank God, I've been using the Internet heavily these past few years.. and that gave me time to think more and to make this site as (collective) as it could get.. so that everybody finds what they want through it..  So from this site you could go to any other Coptic sites on the net, listen to hymns, masses and carols.. the ability to get hundreds of pictures on our Lord Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary, Saints.. etc... you could also read the whole text of the Holy Bible in many languages, there is also a kids' corner, Time Center, Arabic-English Dictionary and a multi-lingual translator, Arabic Keyboard, and a valuable part about Egypt, through the ages till now.. and a part about Alexandria.. downloads for Winamp skins, Coptic fonts, Christian computer icons, Christian programs, Spiritual Songs Lyrics, a part for Christian mobile tones, and even the ability to learn languages online like Arabic, English, French, Italian and Coptic languages, and a general software downloads section... etc.

And I'd like to take this chance to give credits to everyone involved in this site in any way...  Especially Father Takla William.. He is the first one to be thanked here; because of his great effort with me.. providing information.. and collecting what he didn't have.. and he reviewed this site many times.. Also he helps currently in replying to some E-mails..

I'd like to thank also Rania Joseph (designing the first version of the "Kid's Corner" after publishing the site - St. Takla Flash Movie at the same section) - Maram Makhamreh (from Jordan, reviewed parts of the site.. and gave me hints and ideas in the beginning) - Caroline Samir (translated St. Takla's story from Arabic, also she revised  the grammar and language of parts of the site) - Magi Luca (drew the pictures for Saint Takla's Flash story), and also helped in the ads at church) - Verena Nasser (4 years old [2002] by her voice at the Flash movie)...

....... and many others who helped us.. by giving ideas.. suggestions.. and info. like Fady Fahmy (my online friend from Cairo), Samer Wagdy (some of the scouts info), Fifi Yanni (helped in making the ads at church), Avronia Azer (wrote the intro for the Services section, and the Women's Meeting), Ragy Soubhy and Joseph Nazmy (ideas, revision, ads and designing the logo), George Emil (AutoCAD map for the Church), Tracey Mautz (from USA, revised parts of the site), Kirellos Karim (from St. George Church at El-Hadara, Alex., and he helped us update the links section), I'd like also to thank both Mr. Nashaat Bekhiet and Mr. Hany Shenouda (the idea and the contents of the Bible Verse Art gallery), Rania Luca (translating St. Teklehimanot's story into French).....

You'll find here a lot of stuff.. Especially about Christianity & religion in general ..Also you'd find some pictures, downloads, & links to 100s of Coptic sites.

PLEASE, if you have any comments, ideas, notes, or thoughts about this site, feel free to contact me, and tell me your opinion..

AND if you have any thing that you want to share with others, any pictures for St. Takla that I don't have in the gallery, any important information you want to tell other people about it, or ANY THING you feel that it would be of good value, just e-mail me and tell me what's in your mind, you could also send me the file immediately (attached to the e-mail, or by hand if you're a member of the church :)
