Pope Shenouda III
of Alexandria (
Coptic
: born Nazeer Gayed on 3 August 1923, in
Asyut
,
Egypt
), is the 117th
Pope of Alexandria and the Patriarch of All Africa on the Holy Apostolic See of Saint Mark the Evangelist
of the
Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria
. He is the head of
The Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria
.
A graduate of
Cairo University
and the Coptic Orthodox Seminary, Nazeer Gayed became a monk under the name
Fr. Antonios the Syrian
after joining the
Syrian Monastery
of the
Ever-Virgin Mary
the
Theotokos
, where he was later elevated to the
Priesthood
.
Pope Cyril VI
summoned Fr. Antonios to the patriarchate where he consecrated him
General Bishop
for Christian Education and as Dean of the Coptic Orthodox Theological Seminary, whereupon he assumed the name Shenouda, which was the name of a
Coptic Saint
and two previous Popes:
Shenouda I
(859-880) and
Shenouda II
(1047–1077).
He has served as Pope of Alexandria since 14 November 1971, presiding over a worldwide expansion of the Coptic Orthodox Church. During his papacy, Pope Shenouda III has appointed the first-ever
bishops
to preside over
North American
dioceses
that now contain over two hundred parishes (200 in the USA and 23 in Canada and 1 in Mexico), up from four in 1971, as well as the first bishops in
Australia
and the first Coptic Churches and bishops in
South America
.
He is known for his commitment to
ecumenism
(Christian unity) and has, since the 1970s, advocated inter-denominational Christian dialogue. He devotes his writings, teachings and actions to spread and propagate for the rules of understanding, peace, dialogue and forgiveness.
Early life
Born Nazeer Gayed on 3 August 1923 in Asyut, Upper Egypt, he is the youngest of a family of eight children.
Nazeer's mother tragically died shortly after his birth
.
By the age of 16, Gayed was active in the Coptic Sunday School movement.
Gayed was very active in his church and served as a Sunday School teacher, first at Saint Anthony's Church in
Shoubra
and then at Saint Mary's Church in Mahmasha.
[1]
After graduating from
Cairo University
with a degree in history, he worked as a high school English and Social Studies teacher in
Cairo
by day, and attended classes at the Coptic Theological Seminary by night. Upon graduation from the seminary in 1949, he was chosen to teach
New Testament
Studies
Theological disputes
Of course after all Pope Shenouda III has done there are those who disagree with him. He has been involved in theological disagreements with Father
Matta El-Meskeen
concerning the issue of
theosis
(the divinisation of the Christian who puts into practice the teachings of
Christ
). As result of this, Pope Shenouda III published eight booklets explaining his view of theosis. Pope Shenouda III taught others about the issue in the theological seminary of
Cairo
and also in the seminary of
Alexandria
.
After the departure of Father Matta El-Meskeen, there were warnings issued by Pope Shenouda III against his teachings published in
El-Keraza Magazine
. They can be found in both English
[14]
and Arabic.
[15]
Writings and lectures
Pope Shenouda III has been the editor-in-chief of
El-Keraza Magazine
, the official publication of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, since 1962. He became the first Patriarch of Alexandria since the fifth century to have been head of the Theological Seminary and continues to lecture at the Seminary branches in
Cairo
,
Alexandria
and several other Theological Seminaries created in different dioceses in Egypt and abroad, and at the Higher Institute of Coptic Studies. He also established other branches of the Seminary in Egypt as well as abroad. Pope Shenouda is also the author of over 100 books.
In his new book, "
Have You Seen the One I Love
", Pope Shenouda contemplates the
Song of Songs
.
