Bishop Raphael: If we had weapons, why didn’t we use them?

Bishop Raphael, general secretary of the Holy Synod, said during the symposium at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science today that Coptic Christians suffer from religious discrimination that can only be treated by preaching coexistence culture.

 

He said that the Church is not supported by anyone save God, and never receives foreign funds. Had we weapons, we should have used them in the recent attacks, he added.
