Egypt
Third Symposium on Coptic Studies
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2006/783/heritage.htm
For anyone following Coptic studies, see a good summary on the Al Ahram website of the recent coptic conference in at the White Monastery of St Shenoude near Sohag: " The symposium at the White Monastery, which concentrated on a single Upper Egyptian monk who became abbot of two monasteries, played an important part in the history of Christendom, and reputedly lived to the ripe age 118 (an age that Emmel considers entirely possible), drew together scholars from as far afield as Australia and Canada. It caused a stir among the population of Sohag that will long be remembered. Already other bishoprics in Middle and Upper Egypt have expressed a desire to host the next symposium in two years' time, and it seems that Nagada, between Qena and Luxor, is high on the list of possibilities."
