Egypt Regime Tries to Ease Interfaith Relations; Decides to Restore Church Destroyed by Muslims

The Christian Post website reports today (May 26, 2011) that the military regime in Egypt -- in an attempt to ease interfaith relations -- has ordered the restoration of an Egyptian church destroyed by Islamist extremists earlier this month.

A group of craftsmen have been dispatched and are working to restore St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Imbaba -- a suburb of Egyptian capital Cairo.

Workers have quickly moved in and are hoping to complete work in just three weeks, although such work normally would be completed in about three months.

The church in question suffered heavy damage through the fire started by Islamic militants, with the entire ground floor of the church left in ruin.
