Also Rev. Father Safwāt al-Bāyadī, head of the Evangelical Church, praised the elimination of Article 219 from the new constitution, clarifying that it was the civil forces among Muslims who asked for it before the Christians did. He added that the remainder of Article 2 of the suspended constitution, that says that sharī'ah is the main source of legislation, is an important matter, and stressed the necessity of keeping Article 3, regarding the personal status laws for non-Muslims (Christians and Jews), granting them the right to appeal to their canon principles and select their religious leaders (Majdī Fikrī, al-Dustūr, Sep. 2, p. 2).
