edited December 1969 in Coptic Orthodox Church
Just sharing with you all a BBC article about a clash between coptics and muslims near luxor. Basically some copts tried to convert a house into a church and some muslims tried to object, the important thing to keep in mind is that the copts didnt have permission to build the church. The article is here --> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4628168.stm

    hi why, the article said the clash happened at Odaysat which is very close to luxor. Also, a further update is that one coptic is now dead, and so baba shenuda is sending 7 bishops to attend to the funeral. Rabana maak

    We ought to obey God rather than man...

    Is that true for those who I think wanted to use the house as a church even though they had no permission? or was it sin by these copts? ?

    i think it was a wrong dicision to convert the house to a church without permission!

    any other opinions??
