friends of the bible, Coptic association founded in 1908 by Basili Butrus who was its first president until his death in 1921. The main aims of the society were to inspire service in the Coptic Orthodox Church and active membership in it and to urge members to pray and study the Holy Scripture.
The society paid special attention to young people living in the capital away from home and in particular took care of girl students, for whom a special branch was founded in 1939.
