    THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE HEADS OF
    ORIENTAL ORTHODOX CHURCHES MEETS IN CAIRO


    On Monday 4 July 2011, the Members of the Standing Committee met in Cairo.
    The Committee was established in 1998, upon the decision of His Holiness
    Pope Shenouda III Coptic Orthodox Church, His Holiness Ignatus Zakka I Iwas
    Syrian Orthodox Church, and His Holiness Aram I Armenian Orthodox Church,
    Catholicosate of Cilicia.

    The members of the Committee, Anba Bishoy, Coptic Orthodox Church,
    Metropolitan George Saliba and Archbishop Nais, Syrian Orthodox Church,
    Archbishop Sebouh Sarkissian and Archbishop Nareg Alemezian, met with His
    Holiness Pople Shenouda III, before beginning their meetings. The agenda of
    the Standing Committee included: assessment of the Bilateral Theological
    Dialogues; relations with the World Council of Churches and the Middle East
    Council of Churches and participation in these bodies; strengthening
    cooperation and coordination of activities between the three sister
    churches.

    In its final statement the Standing Committee reaffirmed the unity of the
    faith that exists between them; recommitted them to face together challenges
    and developments in the Middle East; and reconfirmed their attachment to
    their ancient orthodox roots in the Region.
