Abba Makarious, bishop of Minya, has hardly survived an assassination attempt by gunmen who besieged the house he was visiting and were shooting at it for 90 minutes.
The attack happened while the bishop was offering his condolences to a Christian family whose son was killed in sectarian violence in Sarw village after the dispersal of Rabaa Adawia and Nahda sit-ins.
Bishop Makarious said that such attack is but a terrorization message to Church’s leaders.
