Since 2011, millions of people across the Middle East have been displaced, sought refuge, or emigrated following the Arab Spring. After the uprisings of 2011 and coup of 2013 in Egypt, emigration to the US increased dramatically, especially among Coptic Christians. My dissertation examines how shifting conditions in Egypt post-2011 have led to increased Coptic Christian immigration to the United States and how the Coptic Orthodox Church and Coptic communities between the United States and Egypt have reconstituted themselves, religiously and socially, in light of this increased immigration. Over the past 8 years, the Church has had to contend with increased migration of Copts, redefining its purpose and focus, which has clashed with the social and spiritual needs of many first and second generation American Copts. To understand the transnational connections and tensions between Coptic communities and the Church between the US and Egypt, I focus my dissertation in three main arenas in which these connections and tensions are being discussed: theological education of youth, clerical engagement between Egypt and the United States, and Coptic political activism. By understanding the impact of Middle Eastern Christian migration on the North American church, this project makes a major contribution to the study of American Christianity and its present shifts, but also to the ways in which the Coptic Orthodox Church has been and is being transformed by its interaction with other forms of Christianity in the West.
