EGYPT. Copts. 1997
Copts are the ancient and proud heirs of
Pharaonic culture,surviving Islam and the Arab conquest. Today they complain of descrimination rather than
persecution. The current wave of militant Islamism - Copts have been killed in upper Egypt- has drawn the community closer together, enhancing the influence of their clergy, a very conservative one.
Near St Antony Monastery - At dusk, Abuna
(father) Deonyanous, a Copt monk , in the
desert of the Red Sea, reaches the cave where
he lives as a hermit.
