The Coptic faith may not be very prominent, with few provinces and nations, but it would still be nice if it had at least the smallest amount of flavour (currently it has none). To that end I propose the following 3 events (plus 3 cleanup events) and 1 decision:
Events:
The Coptic Pope
Triggers: state religion is Coptic, owns Cairo, Cairo is Coptic, at peace, can only fire once, MTTH of 12 months
The Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria is the successor of Mark the Evangelist and, as first among equals, the senior bishop of the Coptic Church. Ever since the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 639 the Coptic Pope was forced to concede to heathen rule.
No more is this the case, as Cairo, the seat of the Coptic Pope is once again firmly in the hands of the faithful Christians. With the patriarchal seat of Alexandria restored to the Coptic Church, the process of bringing all of North Africa back into arms of Christianity can be taken up with increased effort.
May it be Christian until the Day of Judgment
Gain 10 Prestige, Cairo gets The Coptic Pope modifier until 1821

Triggers: state religion is not Coptic, Owns Cairo, Cairo has The Coptic Pope (modifier)
With the Coptic Church no longer serving as our state religion the authority of the Coptic Pope wanes, as he once again becomes a mere subject of our rule.
The Coptic Pope is of no concern to us, anymore
Remove The Coptic Pope (modifier) from Cairo
Restore the Monastery of Saint Anthony
Triggers: state religion is Coptic, owns Ras Gareb, at peace, can only fire once, MTTH of 120 months
The Monastery of Saint Anthony, established in 356, is the oldest still-functioning Christian monastery. It serves as a major repository of Coptic scriptures and welcomes visitors of all creeds. The monastery has, however, seen better days and it is now a mere shadow of its full glory. By funding the restoration of the monastery, we can once again make promote it as a major pilgrimage destination and religious centre.

The Copts of Egypt
Triggers: state religion is Coptic, owns all of Egypt region, at peace, can only fire once, MTTH of 120 months
Owing to the efforts of Mark the Evangelist and his successors Egypt has been a major stronghold of Christianity in Africa since the second century. The Muslim conquest of Egypt in 639 has resulted in a slow process of conversion to the teachings of Mohammad among the locals, yet even now the Coptic population remains a major feature of Egypt's ethnic and religious landscape. With Christian population spread all over the land of the Nile, it should not be difficult for us to restore the Coptic Church to its place as a majority religion. Even now, as Christian rule has been restored in Egypt, its Christian population gives rise to a restoration movement.

Decision:
Promote monasticism
Requirements: stability 1, has advisor Theologian
The tradition of Christian monasticism can trace back its roots back to Saint Pathomius, the founder of the first monastery in Tabennisi in the early fourth century. Egyptian monasticism has been instrumental in the spread of the Coptic Church and to this day, even after centuries of Muslim rule, remains a defining aspect of our religion.
