"We
who stand for 80,000 Christian Egyptians in Australia are deeply
saddened by events and the tragic loss of life in Egypt on Wednesday. No
matter the difference in our political or religious stance, it is
unacceptable to see such bloodshed and the destruction of public
buildings and churches throughout Egypt," the leaders of the Coptic
Orthodox Church of Australia, Bishop Anba Suriel and Bishop Daniel said
in a joint statement this morning.
