Bishop Angaelos is the General Bishop of the Coptic Church in the United Kingdom.
His homeland is Egypt, where Coptic Christians have had a significant presence for most of the last 2,000 years – but the numbers are declining in the face of growing sectarian violence.
Bishop Angaelos told BBC Hardtalk’s Stephen Sackur: “There is a trend, a very narrowing scope, a narrowing perspective going through the Middle East that only certain people have a right to exist and we need in conscience to address that.”
