Pope Shenouda insisted that the Secular Copts group who recently proposed a draft personal status law neither represents the Coptic Orthodox people nor the Church.

 He also discussed the perspective of the Orthodox Church regarding the wedding rituals of other denominations (namely Protestants), pointing that Protestants perform the marriage themselves without a priest which is not acceptable in Orthodoxy. In addition, he declared that in Egypt there are no laws against church building yet some extremist people obstruct the building procedures.
