Vicar: Dire Times For Iraq's Christians
Many Iraqi Christians’ churches are destroyed or abandoned. The congregation is smuggledin and out of this secret sanctuary. Even letting 60 Minutes come to the service was a terrible risk. White is among the last Christian ministershere, a savior with crosses to bear. Larger than life, stricken with MS, and by hisown reckoning, driven a little bit mad.He was first sent to Baghdad by the Archbishop of Canterbury nine years ago, wellbefore the Christian persecution.”You were here during Saddam’s reign. And now after. Which was better? Which was worse?”Pelley asked. “The situation now is clearly worse” than under Saddam, White replied.”There’s no comparison between Iraq now and then,” he told Pelley. “Things are themost difficult they have ever been for Christians. Probably ever in history. They’venever known it like now.”
