2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 2:21. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 2:23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

2:20 And Adam named all the domestic animals and all the birds of Heaven and all the beasts of the field. And Adam did not find a helper resembling him. 2:21 And God threw an unconscious sleep over Adam and he slept and He took a rib from his ribs and He filled its place with flesh in its stead. 2:22 And Lord God formed the rib which He took it from Adam into a woman and He brought her to Adam. 2:23 And Adam said, “This one now, she is a bone from my bones and a flesh from my flesh. This one I shall call her ‘the woman’ because she was taken from her husband. 2:24 Therefore as the man leave his father and his mother and he shall cleave to his wife and they shall become the two into one flesh. 2:25 And they were both naked, namely Adam and his wife and they were not ashamed.

In Memoriam H.G. Bishop Gregorius (by Hany N. Takla)

On the 22 rd of October, 2001, the Coptic Church lost one of its brightest stars of the second half of the 20 th century, H.G. Bishop Gregorius, bishop of Scientific Research. He passed away after an illness that lasted a few years which slowly and sadly drained him from his physical and mental capacities. He set the example for my generation in ecclesiastical discipline, accuracy, and knowledge. He was the Coptic Church best theologian in the pure sense of the word. He led by example and set the highest standard of

Christian scholarship. His departure saddened us, but his memory will never fade away from us. He was born as Wahib Atallah on October 13, 1919 in the Upper Egyptian city of Aswan where he stayed until he finished elementary school. He then moved North to the city of Sohag where he finished his high school education. From there he went to Cairo to study at the Clerical College under the famed Archdeacon Habib Girgis and obtained a bachelor degree in Theology from there in 1938. He later joined Cairo University and
