Statement on refugee crisis by HG Bishop Angaelos September 4, 2015 by Fulcrum Statement on the refugee crisis in Europe - By His Grace Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom Having seen heartbreaking images of the lifeless and abandoned body of young Aylan Kurdi lying alone on a beach in Turkey puts an all too gruesome optic to a matter either in the forefront or background of every mind over the past months. The images we have now become too accustomed to seeing may have desensitised some, but the horrific reality of the situation remains; thousands of people continue to risk all, even their lives, to seek the safety that we are thankfully free to live on a daily basis.
