Antiochian (EO) - Syrian (OO) Agreement regarding Divine Liturgy
Copts believe in two natures "human" and "divine" that are united in one hypostasis "without mingling, without confusion, and without alteration" (from the declaration of faith at the end of the Coptic divine liturgy). These two natures "did not separate for a moment or the twinkling of an eye" (also from the declaration of faith at the end of the Coptic divine liturgy). In fact, at the time Christ died on the cross, His human soul left his human body, but His divine nature remained united to His human soul and human body.

== Antiochian (EO) - Syrian (OO) Agreement regarding Divine Liturgy ==
''"In localities where there is only one priest, from either Church, he will celebrate services for the faithful of both Churches, including the Divine Liturgy, pastoral duties, and holy matrimony. He will keep an independent record for each Church and transmit that of the sister Church to its authorities.
"If a bishop from one Church and a priest from the sister Church happen to concelebrate a service, the first will preside even when it is the priest's parish."''
Signed: '''Patriarch Ignatios IV (Eastern Orthodox)
Damascus 12.11.1991 [http://www.orthodoxunity.org/state13.html]'''
That's the decision of our hierarchs (both sides).
