| | His Holiness Anba Shenouda III, The Estimate, January 28, 2000 |
| | His Holiness Shenouda III is considered by Copts to be the 117th patriarch of Alexandria in direct succession to Saint Mark the Evangelist, author of the second Gospel. | | | In keeping with the tradition of the eastern churches, in which there are married parish priests but bishops are always chosen from the celibate monks, Shenouda is of course celibate. | | | In 1980, with tensions between Islamists and Copts deepening, Shenouda openly criticized government encouragement of the Islamists, and the Coptic bishops called for limiting the usual Easter celebrations and calling for prayers for the church instead. |
