Concern For Christians Under New Egyptian Constitution

Egypt’s new constitution may bring darker days for our Christian brothers and sisters.

The constitution, widely representative of Islamists in the country has sparked worry in Egypt.

With the Christian community making up around 10 per cent of the Egyptian population, believers of Christ are extremely undermined.

According to Patheos.com, votes from the Christian community were very limited for the two-stage referendum, with as low as 7 per cent of votes cast in some areas.

It was reported that intimidation from the Islamic community- which takes up most of the African country- hindered people of other faiths from voting freely. Christian cities such as Assiut flocked with around 50,000 Egyptians supporting the constitution.

Now, with the approval of the pro-Islamic constitution, concern is rapidly growing for the rights and welfare for minority groups.

Verse For Today 29.12.12

Isaiah 61:1: The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has appointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. (NKJV)
