H. E. Bishop Dr. Munib Yonan, President of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan and the Holy Land and President of the Evangelical Fellowship in the Middle East denounced the violent acts against the Coptic Orthodox Churches in Alexandria. These aim, he said, at destroying the existing strong relations between the citizens of Egypt, Christians and Muslims. H. E. Bishop Yonan affirms his solidarity with the members of the sister Coptic Orthodox Church and warns against the hands behind these acts that are only well set traps. Bishop Yonan adds his appreciation for all efforts deployed to prevent similar assaults and to fail those destructive plans that target Christian-Muslim brotherhood.
