Concerning the regulations (laws) of monasticism: It was mentioned in the report of the Monasteries Committee to the assembly of the Holy Synod that was on Monday morning 12/06/2000 in the meeting of the Committee and in preparation for the issuance of a regulation of Coptic monasticism, the members read the regulations (laws) of monasticism, which was prepared by a special Synodal Committee, and the Holy Synod approved it in 1937. The draft regulation was then photocopied and distributed, which was prepared by His Holiness, Pope Shenouda III, just before his Holiness’s monasticism.
