Pope: Coptic role is expanding at current moment in Egypt

In his speech at the meeting of the holy synod today, Pope Tawadros II said that Copts are more appreciated in the Egyptian society and their role is expanding at the current moment.

Pope said that the government is keen to restore the path of the holy family project and pointed out that the building churches law was finally passed after 160 years.
 
Pope said that the president has visited the Cathedral of St. Mark to congratulate the Copts on Christians for the first time in history. Moreover, the demolished churches in terrorist attacks after the dispersal of Rabaa Adawia and Nahda sit-ins were restored by the state.
