criticism by Prof Dr Bebawy
==A "controversial" figure==
Despite His Eminence's very active and commendable involvement in fruitful ecumenical dialogues with other Churches (leading the representation of the Coptic Orthodox Church in these dialogues), he is frequently criticized by many because of his rather strong words against non-Orthodox Churches (and the [[salvation]] of their faithful),<sup>[http://www.zeitun-eg.net/members_contrib/anbabishoy06622.mp3 Arabic audio excerpt]</sup> and also against those whom he labels as [[heretic]]s or [[heterodox]] over dogmatic matters he disagrees with.
Some of the criticism directed against Metropolitan Bishoy can be read in this [http://www.zeitun-eg.net/members_contrib/DrBebawyArabic.doc Arabic article] by Professor Dr. George Habib Bebawy, Professor of Eastern Theology and Dean of the Institute of Orthodox Theology, Indiana, USA.
