My Way News - Even in desert retreat, monks feel Egypt's turmoil
My Way News reports: "A mob attack this month on the Cairo cathedral that serves as the seat of the Coptic pope raised alarm bells among Christians, who make up about 10 percent of the country's 90 million people. There has been a surge in attacks on Christians and churches in the two years since the ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak. But for Christians, the cathedral violence laid bare their vulnerability. Morsi quickly condemned the violence, saying attacking the cathedral was like attacking him personally. But the Coptic Pope Tawadros II accused him of failing to protect the cathedral in an unprecedented direct criticism."

Comment: Please join me in praying for the church in Egypt, that they will not allow their hearts to be embittered but will persevere in faith, love and compassion.
