US evangelicals visiting Egypt were “reassured” by El Sisi’s commitment to religious freedom

An American evangelical delegation that visited Egypt last month was encouraged and reassured by Egypt’s commitment to religious freedom and combating terrorism, Jayson Casper writes for Christianity Today. The statement comes as Egypt has been getting flak for its treatment of religious minorities from both NGOs and the US State Department. US Vice President Mike Pence is expected in Cairo in December to address the issue of the oppression of Christians in the Middle East.
