?Amid the festivities
?Amid the festivities, the growing problems of Christians felt far away,Miu Miu Totes.
"I don't get upset so much now when I hear about Christians getting killed," said Kirolos Anas, a 25-year-old decorator. "It has become routine, and it is for God to hold the killers accountable,Miu Miu Bags."
But Bishop Bieman said the youth in his diocese of Negada and Qos in Qena province were showing signs of dissent, growing more assertive in their demands for Christian equality,Miu Miu Online. They say the church has been too pacifist, he said. "We urge them to join political parties,Miu Miu Totes, trade unions and student bodies,Miu Miu Purses, to fully interact with society" to seek their demands, the bishop said.
"The danger facing our people is that their ceiling of expectations has been significantly raised since the revolution toppled Mubarak's regime and the freedoms that followed," he said. "But, instead, we are suffering now more than we did under Mubarak."
Egypt's new Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, has done little more than pay lip service to Christian rights, many Christians say.
Bishop Marcus, of Shubra, met Morsi for two hours on Aug. 22 with other clergymen.
"We had tea and were warmly greeted,Miu Miu Online. We talked about everything that we need to see changed," said Marcus. "He never said no to any demand we raised." But, he added, "we are still waiting for action,Miu Miu Totes."
Then his voice grew angrier,Miu Miu Bags.
"Why can't the president be decisive and delve into the case file of the Christians? Are Christians a part of the fabric of this nation or not?" |
