This decision was made during the celebration of the Egypt’s churches council at the Coptic Orthodox Cultural Center in the Abasseya cathedral, marking the first anniversary of its foundation.
 
“Intolerance still exists and there are now still some orthodox churches preventing the entry of evangelical pastors from praying, especially during funerals prayers,” pastor of the Evangelical Church in Shubra Refaat Fekry said during the celebration. “If churches want unity, they must prevent these publications from spreading.”
