On Sunday, May 9, 2021, Egyptian officials said authorities have executed a defrocked monk convicted of the 2018 killing of Bishop Epiphanius, an abbot in a desert monastery north of Cairo. The abbot’s killing has exposed a side of the church that few in Egypt — Muslim or Christian — knew existed, including the growing power and independence of monks in remote monasteries who appear to be at odds with Pope Tawadros II and the church’s central leadership.
