This article highlights the influence that the Coptic Orthodox Church had on Egyptian culture, politics, and the economy during the 20th century. It covers the complex role that the Church had in Egypt throughout that time period. It investigates the process by which the Church evolved from a strictly spiritual institution into a prominent social player by founding schools, hospitals, charity organizations, and cultural institutions. Additionally, the research explores the economic roots of the Church, which include endowments, commercial ventures, and assistance from non-Christian organizations. The Church's ongoing relationship with different Egyptian governments is studied from a political perspective, with a particular focus on the Church's growing engagement in state issues and its representation of the Coptic people. For the purpose of providing a thorough view on the impact that the Church has had on contemporary Egyptian culture, the essay makes use of a mix of historical and sociological methods in terms of its methodology. Based on the findings of the research, it can be concluded that the Coptic Orthodox Church played a significant role not only in the maintenance of religious identity but also in the formation of public life in Egypt during the last century.
