Bishop Missael (born 1940) is a diocesan bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria consecrated by Pope Shenouda III on 26 May 1991 to oversee the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Midlands, U.K. (formerly the Diocese of Birmingham). In this capacity, he is a member of The Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church. ==Early life== On 11 November in 1962, a 22-year-old man who joined the Sorian (St. Mary's) Monastery in Wadi Natroun in Egypt was ordained as a monk, with the name "Missael" after St. Missael the Anchorite, where Pope Shenouda III and Metropolitan Pachomious (who held the position of locum tenens after the departure of Pope Shenouda until the selection of Pope Tawadros) were fellow monks. Soon after his fellow monk Fr Antonious was ordained as Bishop Shenouda by Pope Cyril VI, Fr. Missael was ordained as a priest on 1 November in 1967, and later a hegumen on 17 May in 1969 by Bishop Shenouda. It is known that Fr Missael served for a period of four years as secretary of Pope Cyril VI. After the death of Cyril VI, Bishop Shenouda was enthroned as his successor in 1971, becoming Pope Shenouda III. He appointed Fr. Missael as his first secretary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bishop Missael」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
