Egyptian Christians Cheer Removal of Morsi

When Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood was elected as Egypt's first post-revolutionary president, most Christians gritted their teeth and hoped for the best. After a year of sectarian tension, deteriorating economic conditions, and deep political polarization, they are happy to see him go.

"At last, Egypt is now free from the oppressive rule of the Muslim Brotherhood!" wrote Anglican Bishop Mouneer Hanna Anis of the Episcopal Diocese of Egypt and North Africa.

His words could be echoed by the multitudes that filled Tahrir Square and surrounded the presidential palace on June 30. According to the Rebel Movement which led the protests, 22 million Egyptians gave their signature to demand early presidential elections.

"Christians and Muslims alike expressed their extreme and accumulated anger at Morsi's regime," said Sidhom.

Please join with us by supporting our efforts to keep the doors of our church open.  First Baptist Church of Rahway was established in 1834. Many members have gone on to be with the Lord, many have moved away and yet others have come and gone as their circumstances changed. So now only a few of us remain, but we continue on knowing that there is a world full of hurting people that need to know and experience the love of God and the awesome plan he has for their lives. Our Telugu mission which began in 2005 is reaching out to our Indian neighbors and is collaborating with missions in India. Last year we started a Latino mission and our surrounding community is responding, especially the young people. In order for us to continue our work we must raise funds to help with operating expenses until our congregation can once again flourish. Thank you in advance for your support and please keep us in your prayers.  God Bless! All of the funds collected will go towards First Baptist Church operating expenses.
