1. St. Shenouda Coptic Quarterly: Five years ago, the Society announced this new publication. However, the project was delayed in favor of having a joint annual publication with St. Mark Foundation, Coptica. As this new journal is taken shape, it was decided to revive the proposed St. Shenouda Coptic Quarterly again as the logical successor to the current Newsletter. The size of each issue will be about 32 pages, featuring articles or monographs by scholars and students in the field. When warranted, some of the issues will be combined to accommodate longer monographs. Subscription is gratis for dues-paying members of the Society. Separate membership will be available for $15 within North America and $20 for Outside of North America. 2. Coptica: Coptica 3 (2004), containing the second volume of the papers presented at the Wadi al-Natrun's Symposium, Feb. 2002, will be ready by end of June 2004. This volume includes the Art, Architecture, and Inscriptions papers of the proceedings. Mr. Mark R. Moussa has been the editor for this volume. The first volume of the papers presented at the Wadi al-Natrun's Symposium, Feb. 2002 was published in volume 2 of Coptica and sent to the members and subscribers in January of this year. It included the History, Literature, and Liturgy papers. The titles included in both volumes are as follows (in alphabetical order): Coptica 2 v K-H Brune, “The Multiethnic Character of the Wadi al-Natrun.” v J. den Heijer, “Wadi al-Natrun and the History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria .” v M.
