The year 2011 saw a remarkable visibility of Christian Egyptian activism, especially among Coptic Orthodox youth movements and Protestant churches. Drawing on both historical and ethnographic material, this article explores the idioms of blood and land used by Protestant pastors and lay leaders at Kasr al-Dobara Evangelical Church bordering Tahrir Square to explain their revolutionary sympathies and to impel those of their congregation. This research connects these twenty-first-century discourses of revolution and responsibility with late nineteenth-century colonial representations of Copts as the native sons of Egypt. I argue that it is through the historical reading of these landscapes of belonging that one can understand these moments of confident, self-assured Christian activism in the face of mounting sectarian and political violence
