Father anthony messeh biography

Who am I?  Not sure how to best answer that question.  I am many things to many people.

I am a priest in the Coptic Orthodox church – one of the oldest Christian faiths in the world.

 I serve at St. Timothy & St. Athanasius Church in Arlington, VA where we always aim to bring an ANCIENT FAITH to a MODERN WORLD.

I am a proud father to the two best kids in the whole wide world – Michael and Elizabeth - and even more proud husband to Marianne – the best and most precious gift God ever gave me more than 15 years ago.

I am an avid sports fan and I love competing at just about anything.  Basketball, racquetball, softball, ping pong, Monopoly, Chutes & Ladders …you name it!  If there’s a way to declare a winner and a loser, then I’m ready to playand win :).

But most of all, I am just an ordinary guy who has been extraordinarily blessed by God.  I honestly can’t count all the good things that God has done for me and through me over the course
