KAIRO – Ein Besucher-Team aus dem Genfer Sekretariat des Ökumenischen Rates der Kirchen (ÖRK) hatte die Ehre, am Samstag, dem 8. Januar 2011, in Kairo (Ägypten) von Papst Shenouda III. von der Koptischen Orthodoxen Kirche empfangen zu werden. Pastor Dr. Olav Fykse Tveit, der Generalsekretär des ÖRK, reiste mit der Gruppe nach Kairo, um das Beileid der ökumenischen Gemeinschaft nach dem tödlichen Bombenangriff, der am Neujahrstag eine Kirche in Alexandria getroffen hatte, persönlich zum Ausdruck zu bringen.
Tveit übermittelte Papst Shenouda das Mitgefühl und die Unterstützung der ÖRK-Mitgliedskirchen in dieser für Ägypten so schwierigen Zeit.
