===Church of Alexandria===
−
Having been devastated first by schism, and then by Islam, and also by European colonial powers, this church languished as a diaspora church for Greek speakers for a thousand years.  It is only now making remarkable strides to regain its lost footing, having expanded west into territory lost to the [[Great_Schism | Roman schism of 1054AD, south into territory lost to the [[Great_Schism#Chalcedonian_Schism | Coptic schism]] of 451AD(which resulted in  two patriarchs of Alexandria), and even beyond that all the way to South Africa, establishing new dioceses in Madagascar, Kenya, Congo, South Africa and many other countries and regions of [[Africa]].  [[Alexandria]] is one of the three ancient Petrine Sees, having been established by [[St. Mark]] on the instructions of [[St. Peter]].
