Amid growing concern for the survival of Christianity in Iraq, the country’s bishops are set to assess a new scheme helping Christian families who fled jihadist terror to return.
Chaldean Archbishop Bashar Warda of Erbil told Catholic Charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) that the country’s bishops will be meeting next month to discuss the government plan aimed at encouraging Christians to come back to Iraq.
The Assembly of the Catholic Bishops of Iraq is scheduled to meet in Ankawa, following recent talks between the newly elected Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Paul III Nona and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi.
