Probably not the one you’re thinking of.
Nazeer Gayed was born on the 3rd of August, 1923.
He was elected pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandia and head of the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and installed on the 14th of November, 1971.
I find him one of the more interesting of contemporary Christian leaders…
