The Evangelical Church of Egypt became autonomous in 1957 and officially independent in 1958. It has eight presbyteries, 250 congregations and about 750,000 members.Emile Zaki, is a pastor and also the general secretary of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Egypt, a.k.a. Synod of the Nile. The Synod of the Nile has about 250 congregations worldwide, including a few worshiping groups without their own building. The Synod of the Nile is Egypt's oldest and largest Protestant denomination. It helps with running hospitals, clinics, social service and employment agencies, retreat centers, day schools, and its own seminary. The Evangelical Presbyterian Church founded the nation's first primary school for girls.To train pastors the denomination maintains the Evangelical Presbyterian Seminary in Cairo. This is the only Protestant Seminary in the whole country.These Evangelical Christians operate in a context far different from North America. Between 94 and 95 percent of Egyptians are Muslim. Of the 4-5% who are Christian, over 90 percent are Coptic Orthodox. The 10 percent of non-Orthodox Christians include Catholics (0.03 percent) and several Protestant groups (0.07 percent). However, a steady trickle of Orthodox Copts are joining the evangelicals because they are seen as (among other things) less laden with heavy ritual, more generous with welfare and more flexible over marriage and divorce.The church is a member of the World Communion of Reformed Churches and the Egypt Council of Churches, which formed in February, 2013.Partner church is the Church of Scotland.".
