“Currently, the Communion and the world need the witness of a holy remnant,” Archbishop Justin Badi Arama said. “We will continue to stand strong and never compromise the truth for a unity that condones sin.”
Bishop Samy Fawzy Shehata, a theologian with extensive ecumenical and interfaith experience, will succeed Mouneer Anis, a key Global South leader. Shehata will lead the largest diocese of the Communion's newest province, the Province of Alexandria, which will elect its first archbishop later this year.
A June 2019 Pew report described all twenty countries of the province as places where the levels of government restriction on religion is either high or very high.
