Will Saudi Arabia build its 1st Coptic Christian church?
Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark, commented on news of holding the first mass in Saudi Arabia and the possibility of building the first Coptic church on Saudi soil. In an interview with CNN Arabic, the Pope said, 'There is nothing on the ground yet, but I believe there will be no obstacle to that in the future.' He pointed to 'happy' developments in Saudi Arabia, noting that he met with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz during his visit to Cairo and met with the Saudi Crown Prince two years later, also during his visit to Cairo. Pope Tawadros II hailed these meetings as 'very good,' praising the youthful spirit conveyed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. 'We proposed that one of the bishops visit and meet with the Copts, and approval was given. They prayed in hotel halls, and the visits were pleasant, and we repeated them two or three times,' he said. 'This represents a welcome openness to Saudi society, and I believe there will be good news in the future. It's true that there isn't anything on the ground yet, but the situation will need to develop.'
