Zakaria Botros

Zakaria Botros is a Coptic priest from Egypt. He is a controversial figure in that country for his scriptural studies upon the combined books of Islam. He currently resides in the United States.

Controversy

In the 1970s Father Botros was quoted to adopt many religious opinions that might be understood as opposing to the teachings of the Coptic Orthodox Church , he replied to that by publishing a book named Orthodoxy is my denomination. He served in Ezbet Elnakhl a suburb of Greater Cairo , then he was tranferred by Pope Shenouda to serve in a church in Heliopolis .

The attitude of Father Botros has been a subject of both criticism and admiration by different people and Pope Shenouda III has criticized his style and mentioned that the problem between Botros and the Coptic Church is due to theological opinions of the Priest that did not find support in his church [http://st-takla.org/Pix/FAQ/04-Spiritual-021-Zakaryia-Boutrous/St-Takla-org-Pope-Zak.m3u] .
