“Egypt isn't a country we live in, but a country that lives within us” is a renowned saying from the late Pope Shenouda III.

This involves complex political, cultural, social and religious issues.

This is one of the personal lesson Dr Harry Hagopian draws from the life of Pope Shenouda III, the highly respected Coptic Orthodox leader, who died recently.
