According to CBN, Bishop Angaelos, the General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, expressed his condolences in a statement.
"While it is still too early to determine responsibility, what is undeniable is the senseless and heartless brutality that can lead a person or people to indiscriminately take innocent lives, especially at the most vulnerable hour of prayer.... Today we suffer with our sisters and brothers who have experienced losses in London, in Stockholm, and as well as those who continue to suffer on a daily basis across the Middle East. We pray for them and their families as well as their suffering and struggling communities," Bishop Angaelos said.
As we mark Palm Sunday and the entrance of Jesus, the Prince of Peace...we weep & pray for those devastated by the church bombings in Egypt.

As you are off to church for Palm Sunday, remember those who did the same in Egypt, only to be killed for their faith. #SundayReminder

Christians killed in Egypt today who were gathering to worship on Passover. It reminds me what persecution is and is not. Lord, come!
