The Orthodox Church Info blog reports today (June 6, 2011) that the head of the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) in Egypt, Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, expressed his wishes for a speedy recovery for the head of Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church, Pope Shenouda III, who is currently in the U.S. for medical treatment.
Tantawi's message was delivered by the military attache at the Egyptian Embassy in Washington, D.C., Mohamed al-Kashky, who paid a visit to Cleveland Clinic hospital in Ohio, where Pope Shenouda is receiving his treatment.
Shenouda, 87, left Egypt on May 22 to undergo medical treatment following health trouble. He has had kidney and back problems in the past.
The hospital -- which did not indicate any specific medical problem of Shenouda -- said it has not yet set a date for his release and return to Egypt. It did say he needs follow-up care and further tests.
