Egypt

Following the success of last year's day of prayer for Egypt with Egyptian Christians from all denominations, a similar day will be held this year on Saturday the 3rd of March at The Coptic Orthodox Church Centre UK. This will be an all day event starting with Liturgy, brunch, and then meet in the hall to pray together. Everyone is invited to attend.

My dear fathers and brethren

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

Please find below an email and attachments received from the Egyptian embassy regarding tomorrow's elections. Please note that a voting form must be downloaded from www.elections2011.eg website and then posted to the embassy. Ballots must be RECEIVED at the embassy by SATURDAY 26 NOVEMBER at Midnight SUNDAY 27 NOVEMBER at Midnight (the previous deadline was again extended, it is now extended to midnight on Sunday).

With the call for the million-person march in Egypt, please join me in dedicating our prayers throughout today and tonight for God’s protection upon all those who demonstrate as well as the army and the police on the streets. We pray that there will be no further injury or death that will bring pain and sorrow to another family or community in Egypt.

On Wednesday 27 April 2011, Prime Minister David Cameron hosted a reception at Downing Street for a select group of leaders of Christian Churches, denominations and organisations, among whom was His Grace Bishop Angaelos of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
