==Clement==
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be hurtful my comment. I guess some of the Protestant Biblical "scholarly" evaluations in the article just seemed a bit too heterodox for me. So Clement's not in the Coptic Synaxarion? I couldn't find him online at any Chalcedonian sites, either. Which leads me to wonder: who exactly celebrates him as a saint? Any ideas?

:Thanks for your reply and excellent edits to the article. (That's what a wiki is meant to be-- collaborative editing and article evolution (hopefully to the better) through [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Darwikinism Darwikinism].) Clement of Alexandria doesn't have his own biographical/saint/feast day entry in our [http://www.copticcentre.com/synaxarium.pdf Coptic Orthodox Synaxarium]. The Coptic Synaxarium mentions him ('''not''' as a saint) under the following two entries:
:''The Seventeenth Day of the Blessed Month of Baramoudah - The Martyrdom of St. James the Apostle Brother of St. John the Apostle:''
:"'''Clement of Alexandria''', from the fathers of the second century, said: "The soldier that seized the Saint, when he saw his courage, he realized that there must be a better life and asked the Saint for his forgiveness. Then the soldier confessed Christianity and received the crown of martyrdom (Acts 12:1,2) along with the Apostle in the year 44 A.D."
:''The Fifteenth Day Of The Blessed Month Of Baounah - The Turning Over of the Relics of the Great St. Mark the Apostle by the hand of Pope Paul the Sixth, Pope of Rome:''
:"Pope of Rome, replied in an official speech in French, that he read while sitting on the throne. In it he exalted the history of the Alexandrian church, and its long struggle in the field of dogma. He also praised its heros, and its learned people such as Athanasius the apostolic, Kyrillos (Cyril) the Pillar of Faith, Pantaenus and '''Clement'''."
:Clement of Alexandria is not on the present Roman Catholic calendar either (but used to be). [http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/298.html This Anglican site] says that he is on the Eastern (Orthodox) calendar (?) and on many modern revisions of the Anglican calendar.
