he was himself a university professor and a civil
servant and ©t the same time Secretary of the
Supreme Ecclesiastical See. Moreover, during the
war, men of religion of all aeaoainstione had in
creased contacts witii the state and even Muslims in
the Soviet Union prayed fornthe victory of the Ked

Uiese were not very great. However, it was ^
necessary for each Church to retain its national
cachet. * He concluded his statement to the press
Byp eying tribute to the glorious culture of ancient
and modern Egypt and by expressing hi© thanks to the
King and people of Egypt for the hospitality which
they had always shown to members of his Church*
