EGYPT – UNPRECEDENTED ANTI-CHRISTIAN VIOLENCE RAGES Cry out to the Lord on behalf of our Christian brothers and sisters in Egypt, who desperately need our prayers. They are suffering an unprecedented wave of violence at the hands of supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. Twelve Christians have been confirmed killed, including a ten-year-old girl who was gunned down as she walked home from her Bible study class. More than 60 churches have been destroyed, along with Christian homes, businesses and schools, an orphanage and a hospital. Islamists who broke into one Christian school replaced the cross on its gate with an al-Qaeda-style flag before setting the building on fire. The anti-Christian attacks began immediately after Morsi’s removal but intensified after the dispersal of the Muslim Brotherhood’s sit-in protests by the authorities on August 14. It has been said that this day was the worst for violence against the Church in Egypt since the 14th century.
