Egypt Coptic Christians told to cancel activities in July due to security
None
Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Christians have been told by church leaders to cancel all events and activities outside churches in July because of a security threat, church sources said on Thursday.
The warning followed an attack in May by Islamic State on Copts travelling to a monastery in central Egypt, killing 29 people. Sources said the warning was given to individual church leaders by a representative of the Coptic Orthodox Pope.
