The Basilica Church Vigil Oct 30 at 6:30

The Basilica Church in Heliopolis / Roxy (the one right next to Al-Horria Mall) has a garden directly in front of its main entrance. The meeting place is there. We will hold a short vigil this coming Sunday the 30th of October at 6:30pm. It should last no more than an hour.

The point behind this event is to display Egypt’s religious interconnection. As I previously had expressed to me (rather pointedly) there are no real differences between us. We are a hotheaded lot; quick to temper but faster to forgive. Let us grasp the opportunity of the last few days of Ramadan to make this display of affection for each other.

We are fast losing many friends around the world; let us at least make sure we keep the ones we have at home.

Everyone is kindly asked to bring a candle and wear a white tee-shirt. The point man on this is Tamer; his number is 010-613-1004 if you have any questions please feel free to call him.

Just as important as the demonstration itself as it is the pictures of it. We intend to use those pictures as the basis of a formal letter to both Pope Shenouda as well as the Vatican in a show of solidarity and apology. We are not expecting more than a couple dozen people or so, so please get there on time as it will not last long.

Thank you.
Karim Elsahy

1 - Good idea Karim, except that the Basilica isn't a Coptic church, neither Coptic Catholic Nor Coptic Orthodox.

Choosing Coptic church will be more meaningful. (Comment this)

2 - Alif that is unfortunately a very good point I guess I oversaw (our luck to choose one of only a handful of non-Coptic churches huh). Unfortunately emails and preparations are already in motion so we are committed. (Comment this)

3 - i've published your e-mail in my blog and Ramy - www.beyondnormal.blogspot.com had the same point as our friend Alif , so if it's Logistically relevant the gathering could be made in Heliopolis and then move to Cathedral in Abasyaa (Comment this)

7 - Quite a noble cause, but nobody will show up. At least not nearly as many that showed up to riot in front of the Coptic Church. (Comment this)

9 - We went to the Basilica church. I have to say, we were all touched, we talked, hugged and shook hands. It was worth every second. I personally thank everyone that showed up, the church goers that gave us their time, and last but not least, Karim, thank you for coming up with this great iniciative. It was an experience of a lifetime. (Comment this)

11 - Yesterday at the Basilica church, i experienced a very touching moment of unity amongst the Arabs. As we lit the candles poeple started questioning us and especially the elderly, which when knew the purpose of us being there tapped us on our backs with a smile of thankfulness. Some even went ahead kissing and hugging us full of appreciation. It was a beautiful experience which showed hope. I would really like to thank Karim for showing us that there is hope,and everyone that showed up. (Comment this)
