Bishop Anba Suriel of the Melbourne Dioceses of the Coptic Orthodox Church remarked:
“Today is a historic day for Coptic Christians in Egypt and around the world. Over 2400 representatives of Copts will vote for selecting the top three candidates towards choosing the 118th Pope of Alexandria and All Africa. Let us all lift up our hearts in prayers that the Lord speaks into the hearts of each voter to make their choice according to God’s will. May the Lord choose for us the good and wise shepherd who will guide the people of God in justice, righteousness and peace.”
