Egypt’s Evangelical community celebrated on Sunday the restoration of Bani Mazar church, the city’s last last to be repaired church that was burnt in the aftermath of the dispersals of sit-ins staged at Rabaa al-Adaweya and al-Nahda squares. Several figures attended the celebration in Minya governorate on Saturday night including the governor Essam Bedawy, and the head of the Evangelical Church Andrea Zaki. A statement for the governor said that the church was rebuilt in a modern style while retaining the spiritual style of the church. It took about three years to rebuild by the armed forces. Zaki extended his thanks to Sisi for the great efforts of the armed forces in rebuilding and restoring Bani Mazar church, which had been subjected to a huge fire.
