Chapter 5. Monks and Monasteries

Warning regarding Ayman Mansouri (Maqar the Sudanese)

Original Arabic Text

The Monasteries Affairs Committee informed the Holy Synod of its decision following research affirming that Ayman Mansouri, who is an impersonator using the name Maqar the Sudanese, is not suitable for monasticism, and warns against his acceptance in any of the Coptic Monasteries, because he had claimed that he is a monk and wore the monastic vestments, but it was proven that this claim is not true. He has prayed some Liturgies whilst he is a layperson, and this was witnessed by the Patriarchal representative in Alexandria.
