'''ArchbBishop Angaelos'''  was consecrated in 1999 as a General [[Bishop]] ([[Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church#Seniority|a rank between auxiliary bishop and chorbishop]]) in the United Kingdom of the [[Coptic Orthodox Church]],<ref name=basicbio/> the church of Egypt founded, according to its tradition, by [[Mark the Apostle]] around 55 AD and the largest Christian denomination in the Middle East. He was born in [[Cairo]], Egypt and emigrated with his family to Australia; he spent his childhood and early life there, obtained his Bachelor of Arts, majoring in political science, philosophy and sociology, and went on to postgraduate studies in law whilst working in the same field. He returned to Egypt in 1990 to join the [[Monastery of Saint Bishoy]] in [[Wadi-El-Natroun]], where he was subsequently consecrated a monk by [[Pope Shenouda III]]. He served as Papal secretary until 1995, and was then delegated by the Pope to serve as a parish priest in the United Kingdom.<ref name=bio/> His nationality is recorded as British at Companies House.<ref name=comho/>

On 18 November 2017, ArchbBishop Angaelos was enthroned as the first Coptic Orthodox ArchbBishop of London, having served as General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom since 1999. In addition to this new role, Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of Saint Mark, has also seen it fit that he continue representing the Church in the United Kingdom at the ecumenical and official level as Papal Legate, and thus conferred him with the ecclesial title of Archbishop of London. 

ArchbBishop Angaelos is widely recognised for his extensive advocacy work, and as a result he was conferred the honour of Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty The Queen for ‘Services to International Religious Freedom.’ ArchbBishop Angaelos has also been conferred the Lambeth Cross for Ecumenism by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Coventry Cross of Nails for Reconciliation. With a pastoral ministry spanning more than two decades, ArchbBishop Angaelos specialises in youth ministry and travels around the world to speak at youth conferences and conventions. 

Having commenced his pastoral ministry in the United Kingdom in 1995 as a parish priest, ArchbBishop Angaelos was consecrated a General Bishop in 1999 by the late Pope Shenouda III, with whom he served as private secretary. He was proclaimed Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of London by Pope Tawadros II, and the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church during a historic service at St Bishoy Monastery in Wadi-El-Natrun, Egypt. 

ArchbBishop Angaelos specialises in initiatives relating to advocacy, international religious freedom and development work, and is a member of, and chairs, numerous local, national and international bodies dealing with these matters. He is founder and convener of the Asylum Advocacy Group which works closely in partnership with the All Party Parliamentary Group on International Religious Freedom or Belief. 

ArchbBishop Angaelos frequently issues statements and comments relating to current religious and minority issues, with his particular focus on dialogue, conflict-resolution, and reconciliation. His comments and views are frequently sought on matters of human rights, civil liberties and international religious freedom, particularly in relation to the situation in Egypt, the Middle East, and North Africa.
