Monk enthroned as pope of Egypt's Coptic Church
A hermit monk Mina Albaramoussy Almetawahed was crowned Kyrillos VI pope and patriarch of the Coptic Church in Cairo. The Ethiopian branch boycotted the ceremony over election representation. The pageantry drew about 2,000 worshippers as priests and bishops led prayers and hymns in Coptic. Haile Selassie sent congratulations despite the dispute. The Coptic Church, independent since the fifth century, claims about a million members in Egypt.
