Protestantism in Egypt

Okay, so you know how we go to church and learn about God, right? Well, a long, long time ago, people in Egypt used to go to church too, but they had different ways of doing it than we do.

One day, a man named Martin Luther didn't agree with how things were being done at his church, so he started a new way of practicing religion called Protestantism. This new way became very popular in some countries, including Egypt.

In Egypt, many people started following Protestant beliefs and going to Protestant churches. They believed in different things than the other churches in Egypt, like having services in Arabic instead of a different language and allowing women to have important roles in the church.

Some people in Egypt didn't like this new way of practicing religion and thought it was wrong. There were even times when Protestant churches were attacked or had their buildings vandalized. But many people still followed their beliefs and continued to go to their churches.

So, in summary, Protestantism is a different way of practicing religion that became popular in Egypt, and some people didn't like it but others continued to follow their beliefs.
