Happy New Year, K. Please accept my sincerest wishes in advance for a Blessed Christmas to you and your family.
And to you and yours, dear lady!
I followed up on your article as we will be having a Coptic family (along with the priest and his family, Greeks, Lebanese, Russians and two Yankee Orthodox couples) here for a New Year’s Day party and I am sure it will be the topic of conversation.
What a tragedy for all Christians. May their memories be eternal! Let’s hope that the Pope’s meeting will be something other than a kumbaya session. My bet is that he will call a spade a spade and there is the remote possibility that if he does say something forceful and in public, the West might respond and remind the Saudis and the Paki leadership just how precarious their existence really is.
