Changes

Since the [[Holy Synod]]s of both the [[Church of Alexandria (Coptic)|Coptic Orthodox Church]] and the [[Church of Alexandria|Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and all Africa]] have already accepted the outcome of the official dialogue on Christology between the Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches, including the two official agreements: the first on Christology signed in June 1989 in Egypt and the second also on Christology and on the lifting of anathemas and restoration of full communion signed in [[Agreed Official Statements on Christology with the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches|Geneva 1990]], in which it is stated that "'''''In the light of our agreed statement on Christology..., we have now clearly understood that both families have always loyally maintained the same authentic Orthodox Christological faith, and the unbroken continuity of Apostolic tradition'''''". It was agreed to have mutual recognition of the sacrament of [[Baptism]], based on what St Paul wrote, "One Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Eph 4:5)
