Cabinet commitee legalises 63 unlicensed churches
[AlAhram] A cabinet committee tasked with legalising the status of unlicensed churches in Egypt approved on Sunday the legalisation of 63 churches and Christian service buildings that had been operating without a permit, the cabinet announced in a statement.

According to the Egyptian cabinet’s statement on the decision, this brings the total number of churches and service buildings that have been granted legal status so far to 2,021 since 2017.

In 2016, Egypt’s parliament approved a long-awaited law regulating the building and renovation of churches.

The committee to legalise the status of unlicensed churches was established in 2017 by Sherif Ismail, the prime minister at the time.

#1 This is really welcome news. Amid all the gloom and doom in the Middle East, Egypt seems to be intent on becoming a modern, normal country. Applause!
