Pope Shenouda of Alexandria accepted a donation from Queen Elizabeth II, assigning an old church building [in England] to the Egyptian Orthodox Church. Pope Shenouda thanked the queen, saying it expressed the good bonding relationship between the Egyptian and British peoples.
Sources from the Egyptian Church stated that the Egyptian’s living in England will start renovations in the Norfolk building, which is expected to serve a number of Egyptians living in Britain.
Due to the high land prices in Europe, the Egyptian Church leases many European Catholic churches.
