ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE SLAUGHTER OF 147 CHRISTIANS STUDENTS IN KENYA
ThePatriarchateofAlexandriaandAllAfrica stronglycondemns the senseless act of indiscriminate terrorist violence of so many Kenyan Christian students. These heinous acts equal total contempt for the value of humanity and go against the right of every person for freedom of religion. They have a tragic effect on the Christian community of the county, which unwaveringly witnesses and confesses its faith in Jesus Christ who, by His Incarnation founded in His Theandric person Love, Peace, Life and Resurrection.

WeprayferventlytoourAll-MercifulGodthat He will grant rest to the souls of the young people tragically lost and to grant strength to their suffering families.
