Bishop Angaelos - Coptic Orthodox Church UK
HARDtalk speaks to the Bishop Angaelos of the Coptic Church in the UK. In the face of widespread persecution, do Christians have a future in the Middle East?
Stephen Sackur speaks to the General Bishop of the Coptic Church in the UK, Bishop Angaelos. In just a few days from now Pope Francis will fly to Egypt to offer his personal support to the country's Coptic Christians. He will find a community filled with apprehension, targeted by jihadist extremists, and subject to persistent discrimination and sectarian violence. Elsewhere, in Syria and Iraq particularly, the plight of Christians is even worse. Do Christians have any future at all in the Middle East?
