News

It was with great sadness that we received the news of the murder of Archbishop Rahho. On behalf of my brother bishops, clergy, and congregation in the Province of the Episcopal/Anglican church in Jerusalem, we send our heartfelt condolences to the Chaldean Catholic Church community in Iraq.

We also express our deep concern for the situation in Iraq and the divisions between faith communities created by the war in Iraq. Christians have lived in Iraq since the 1st century. It is very sad to see some of them being driven away from their own country. They have lived alongside Muslim communities for almost fourteen centuries and our hope is that they will continue to do so.

I would like to affirm that the only hope for Iraq is the unity of its people.
