Or must we consider the EOC as one of your unheard-of groups? Again, EOC may have been unknown in 1517 Bavaria, but not in 21st-century global Christian faith.
Intelligent? I may not know much, but I know that a teaching of church history that has 3/4 of its timeline as blank space is hardly promoting intelligence. No, but "Get out of your mind" is the default response to those who think, seek, and ask.

Let's keep talking about the Coptic church as that is the church you mentioned.
This church was rejected by Catholicism, EOC and Protestantism since they did not believe the orthodox view of Christ's nature.
That is a good enough reason why the recovery is not coming from the Coptic church.
If you don't think the Coptic or EOC need recovery then why aren't you joining them like Hanegraaf ?
