Egypt’s Pope quits Facebook to save time
Pope Tawadros II, the head of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt, has announced his intent to shut down his official Facebook page and make better use of his time, the state-run Mena news agency reports.
It quoted him as saying on Facebook: “Time is the most precious gift God gives us daily, and we must use it in a good way. The Christian must sanctify his time, and the monk leaves everything behind so that all of life becomes sanctified for God.”
His Facebook page, which is still active at the moment, says he joined the social network in October 2009.
The Church was also giving monks a month to shut down all their social media accounts and give their time solely to the monastic order, Mena added.
