Dear Friends, Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I don’t think there is a region in the whole world that is as inflamed and agitated as our region: The Middle East. I am sure that you follow the news about Syria: the destruction, the loss of lives, and the displacement of the Syrian people. As this was going on, the film defaming the Prophet Mohammed was broadcasted in the US and this evoked a volcanic response here in Egypt, in Libya, in Tunisia, in Sudan, in Yemen and in other parts of the region including a suicide bomb in Afghanistan killing 13. The film is aw- ful and is an intentional insult and provocation. The response to the film was also out of pro- portion and led to the death of innocent people, like the US Ambassador in Libya. -
Edict 13. Concerning the City of Alexandria and the Egyptian
Edict 13. Concerning the city of Alexandria and the Egyptian provinces. (De urbe Alexandrinorum et Aegyptiacis provinciis.) _________________________ The same emperor (Justinian) to Johannes, glorious Praetorian Prefect of the Orient. Preface. As we deem even the smallest things worthy of our care, much less do we leave matters that are important and uphold our republic without attention, or permit them to be neglected or in disorder, especially since we are served by Your Excellency who has at heart our welfare, and the increase of the public revenue, and the wellbeing of our subjects. Considering, therefore, that, though in the past the collection of public moneys seemed to be in fair order, in other places it was in such confusion in the diocese of Egypt that it was not even known here what was done in the province, we wondered that the status of this matter had hitherto been left disarranged; but God has permitted this also to be left (to be put in order) in our times and under your ministry. Though they (the officials) sent us grain from there, they would not contribute anything else; the taxpayers all unanimously affirmed that everything was collected from them in full, but the prefects of the country districts (pagarchae), the curials, the collectors of taxes (practores), and especially the officiating (augustal) prefects so managed the matter that no one could know anything about it and so that it was profitable to themselves alone. Since, therefore, we could never correct or properly arrange things, if the management were left in disorder, we have decided to curtail the administration of the man at the head of Eyptian affairs, namely that of the Augustal Prefect. -

Yesterday was the first day of the Referendum on the new Constitution of Egypt. The supporters of the former President Mohammed Mursi called people to boycott the Referendum. Surprisingly enough, yesterday millions of people went to the polls to vote and they are still voting today! Going to the polls was risky because of those who were trying to use violence to scare people from voting, but the army and the police exerted a great effort to protect the polls and to give assurance to the people who would like to vote. Unlike the previous Constitution that was written under the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood, the new Constitution affirms equality and the rights of women within the Egyptian society. It was a phenomenon to see crowds of women at each poll, many of whom queued for hours to vote. Some of them were singing and rejoicing, and even dancing, before and after they cast their vote. -

The Effects of Egypt's Civil Uprising on the Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church
Forced Out of the Walls: The Effects of Egypt’s Civil Uprising on the Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church (A Case Study) by Sameh Hanna A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Knox College and the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by Knox College and the University of Toronto © Copyright by Sameh Hanna 2018 Forced Out of the Walls: The Effects of Egypt’s Civil Uprising on the Kasr Dobara Evanglical Church (A Case Study) Sameh Hanna Doctor of Ministry Knox College and the University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church is situated one block away from Cairo‘s Tahrir Square, the primary location for the vast majority of the historical events of the January 25, 2011 revolution. Cairo‘s Tahrir Square and the Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church (KDEC) continued to be the principle focal points up to and including the June 30 uprising some three years later. During this period of massive change in the history of Egypt, the Coptic church realized the need for political action in the face of persecution, and Kasr Dobara Evangelical Church was a focal example of leadership and service in this new Christian activism. For the first time in the history of Christianity in Egypt, Christians ventured out of the sanctuary of their churches to protest against the traditional oppression of government. The theological understanding and leadership provided by the pastors, leaders, and members of KDEC encouraged significant change, including a new rapprochement between -
Cultural Entanglements and Missionary Spaces: European Evangelicals in Egypt (1900-1956)
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 Cultural entanglements and missionary spaces : European evangelicals in Egypt (1900-1956) Boulos, Samir Abstract: This Ph.D.-thesis examines processes of cultural exchange, which took place in the sphere of influence of European-protestant missionary institutions. It focuses on the field of those charitable andec- clesiastical institutions, which were active in Egypt in the first half of the twentieth century. Based onthe concept of “entangled histories”, relations and interactions are regarded as formative for both, indigenous people and Europeans. Therefore, perceptions and experiences of Egyptians are equally studied along with western sources. These are mainly found in the archives of the British “Egypt General Mission”, of the “English Mission College” and of the German “Sudan-Pionier-Mission”. Oral History Interviews are the basis for examining the Egyp- tian perspectives on Christian mission. The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the theory of cultural exchange. For that purpose, three aspects of cultural exchange processes are studied. Firstly, the results of these processes are described. I am particularly focusing on the history of mentalities and aspects of micro-history. Secondly, I will deal with the functionalities of cultural exchange, how processes of intermediation, adoption and transformation of cultural elements work. Eventually, I am discussing the conditions under which exchange processes actually happened and why certain cultural elements have been adopted or refused. Besides the description of the results and modes of operation, it is an essential aspect of my research to explain processes of cultural exchange in the field of missionary institutions. -
