Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church to take part in constitutional poll
[Al Ahram] At a Thursday meeting with the Council of Catholic Churches in Egypt, Pope Tawadros II, head of Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church, said that Christians in Egypt enjoyed "complete freedom" to participate in the upcoming constitutional referendum, stressing that Copts should "go and vote."
"What the hell? It'll probably be the last chance you ever have! Make a nice story to tell your grandchildren!"
Tawadros II also stressed at the meeting that the Orthodox Church would not push Christians to vote either 'yes' or 'no' in the upcoming poll.

The Orthodox Church sent a memo earlier on Thursday to the presidency regarding constitutional draft articles that it did not approve of.

Meanwhile,
...back at the palazzo, Count Guido stepped from behind the suit of armor, sword in hand. Ciccolini snarled and reached for his own weapon...
the Anglican and Catholic churches in Egypt announced their intention to take part in a third round of national dialogue -- aimed at resolving the current political impasse -- to be hosted by the presidency on Thursday.
