Continuing the discussion of Church–state–citizen relations into the late-2000s, this chapter looks at the power struggles and rising tensions between the Church leadership and the state and the SSI. With sectarian attacks increasing, it discusses state security attempts to contain Pope Shenouda III, his dwindling bargaining power, and his return to methods of dissent and protest that employed in the 1970s. It also discusses resistance among Coptic civil actors.

Keywords:   Church–state–citizen relations, Pope Shenouda III, State security, Power struggles, Resistance, Civil actors
