Egypt's Coptic Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria joined government calls to move churches in overcrowded areas to “wider places,” days after a major fire engulfed a church in the Giza governorate, killing dozens.
“There are small prayer places compared to the number of Copts in the area, and the church that witnessed the fire did not exceed an area of 120 meters,” Pope Tawadros told a local Egyptian channel over the phone.
