From Christian Today-The Archbishop of Canterbury has assured Christians and Muslims working for peace and reconciliation in Egypt that they "are not forgotten".
The Most Reverend Justin Welby told Egyptian Christian leaders on the first day of his visit to Egypt and the Holy Land that "the prayers and solidarity of the Anglican Communion" are with them.
The Archbishop met His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, the head of the Coptic Orthodox Church, and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Mohamed Ahmed el-Tayeb.
In his meeting with Pope Tawadros II in Cairo, Archbishop Welby spoke of how the Church can "flourish and grow" whatever the challenges it faces.
The meeting was joined by several senior Orthodox leaders, including Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the UK.
Archbishop Welby and Pope Tawadros II spoke of their "delight" that official theological dialogue aimed at visible unity and witness was again a part of Anglican-Oriental Orthodox relations.
