The university president stressed that His Holiness, Pope Tawadros II, is a national symbol who, with his wisdom, helped the ship to cross the nation safely in a period full of challenges.

Pope Tawadros II's book, "Years of Love for God and the Fatherland", details what happened in Egypt, as well as the papal journey with his family. It took the media Sherine Abdel Khaleq 3 years to record with Pope Tawadros the scenes of the ten years he spent as Pope of the Egyptian Church.

The discussion witnessed an open dialogue between the audience and His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, the stations in his life, what he went through in Egypt and how the Egyptian Church and Al-Azhar Al-Sharif stood as a wall, protecting the homeland and affirming that our strength will not be shaken by conspiracies or discrimination.

The book was edited by the media, Shereen Abdel-Khalek, and its introduction was written by Counselor Adly Mansour, the former President of the Republic.
