While the kingdom of God will survive in Iraq, Dennis Crowley compiles this report about the massive loss of Christians in that country over the last ten years.
Amid paragraphs recounting numerous attacks against localised groups, these two statements demonstrate the wide scale devastation which has been effected upon Christians since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
A report in the U.K. Telegraph says that a decade after the U.S. government overthrew Saddam Hussein’s secular regime, the Christian population has dropped from over a million to as little as 200,000.
The Telegraph also quotes Archdeacon Temathius Esha, the last remaining Christian priest in Dora, a Bagdad suburb, as saying originally the community had over 30,000 families, now there are only 2,000 left. He says many remaining Christians would leave, if they had the means.
And pray.
