The most wonderful church

By any standard, Andrew White is a quite exceptional man with a unique ministry. He is both the pastor of the largest church in Baghdad, and it is still growing, and at the same time a tireless campaigner for peace and the end of violence as he keeps in constant contact with the political and military leaders, as well as the Ayatollahs and Imams of the Shiite and Sunni communities. With the help of a Rabbi and a Latin Patriarch, they have secured the declaration of a ‘fatwa against violence’.
