= = = Amin Iskander = = =
Amin Iskander (, ; born 1952) is an Egyptian politician, writer and activist. He is the co-founder, along with Hamdeen Sabahi, of the Dignity Party ("Al-Karama") and is currently a member of the People's Assembly. He is considered a veteran Nasserist and a long-time advocate of pan-Arab unity. He has authored several books specializing in Egyptian and Arab politics. He is a resident of Shobra and a Coptic Christian.
Iskander began his career in activism as a staunch Nasserist. Throughout the 1970s, during the presidency of Anwar Sadat, he was part of the anti-Sadat student movement and won in two student union elections. He also participated in the anti-austerity protests of 1977 which resulted in his arrest. He was arrested two more times, during the 1980 parliamentary elections and in 1983 for suspicions of being part of an clandestine Nasserist organization. He was severely tortured during his latter stint in prison.
When the Arab Democratic Nasserist Party (ADNP) was legalized in 1992 Iskander joined the party, which was founded by Diaa al-Din Dawoud, but later left the party in 1998 along with other members of the "new guard" after disagreements with the party's leaders. Along with former ADNP cadre Hamdeen Sabahi, Iskander co-founded the Dignity Party ("Al-Karama"). He continued his activism, being instrumental in the establishment of the Egyptian-Palestinian solidarity movement in 2000 after the start of the Second Intifada (Palestinian uprising) against the Israeli occupation. He also helped organize protests against the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the ensuing occupation.
These protests, together with wide disapproval of Hosni Mubarak's policies in Egypt, eventually culminated with the founding of Kefaya, a grassroots opposition movement. Iskander was one of the principal leaders of the movement and became a vocal opponent of the planned, succession of Gamal Mubarak, Hosni's son, to the presidency which Iskander criticized as "presidential inheritance."
Iskander joined the youth-led protests of the 2011 Egyptian revolution on its first day, 25 January and was arrested by security forces while protesting in Cairo's Shobra district on the first day. He continued protesting after his release on 27 January. He became the Dignity Party's secretary-general in 2011. Iskander strongly condemned the killing of mostly Coptic Christians protesters during the Maspero demonstrations on 9 October. During the 2011-2012 Egyptian parliamentary election, Iskander represented the Dignity Party and was part of the Democratic Alliance. He won a seat in Cairo's First District (Al-Sahel).

= = = Joseph Pere Bell Wilmer = = =
Joseph Pere Bell Wilmer (February 11, 1812 – December 2, 1878) was the Episcopal bishop of Louisiana.
Joseph Wilmer was born in Swedesboro, New Jersey, United States, in 1812, the son of the Rev. Simon (himself son of the Rev. Simon and uncle of Bishop Richard Hooker Wilmer) and Rebecca (Frisby) Wilmer. He attended the University of Virginia, where he graduated in 1831; Kenyon College, where he graduated in 1833; and Virginia Theological Seminary, where he graduated in 1834. In 1857, he received the degree of D.D. from Union College in Schenectady, New York. Wilmer was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal Church on July 10, 1834, in St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Alexandria, Virginia, by Bishop Richard Channing Moore of Virginia. He was ordained a priest by the same bishop at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Petersburg, Virginia, in May 1838. He married Helen Skipwith, the daughter of Humburston and Sarah (Nevison) Skipwith, with whom he had six children.
Wilmer began his ordained ministry by serving at St. Anne's Parish in Albermarle, Virginia, from 1834-1838. The following year he served as the chaplain at his alma mater, the University of Virginia. In 1839, he was appointed chaplain in the United States Army. He resigned from the army in 1843 to take charge of Hungars Parish in Northampton County, Virginia. After that he served as rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Goochland County, Virginia, until 1848, when he became rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He served there until the breakout of the Civil War in 1861, when he retired to his estate in Virginia.
His cousin Richard Hooker Wilmer was elected Bishop of Alabama by the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War, and, although Richard Wilmer was unable to attend the first General Convention after the war, his consecration was ratified by the reunited church.
In May 1866, Joseph Wilmer was elected as the second bishop of the Diocese of Louisiana, succeeding Bishop (and General) Leonidas Polk, who had died during the siege of Atlanta in 1864. He was consecrated as bishop in Christ Church, New Orleans, on November 7, 1866, by Presiding Bishop John Henry Hopkins, as well as Bishops William Mercer Green, Richard Hooker Wilmer (his cousin), and Charles Todd Quintard. During his episcopate, Bishop Wilmer grew the diocese, despite financial, flooding, and political troubles. During his first eight years, the number of congregations, church buildings, and communicants in the diocese more than doubled. Wilmer died suddenly of apoplexy in New Orleans on December 2, 1878. He was buried at Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland.
