END TIMES

It is nearing the time when Christian presence in Iraq will be gone. Thousands are in refugee camps in Syria and Jordon and have overloaded the ability of those countries to provide relief.

Work must be done to keep Christians from leaving Iraq, says bishop:

"ROME, Apr 24, 2008 / 01:27 pm (CNA).- Speaking to the SIR news agency,
Auxiliary Bishop Shlemon Warduni of Baghdad said this week, “I am pleased to
hear that some countries in the European Union have opened their doors to Iraqi
Christian refugees, but it is also necessary to work so that Christians do not
keep leaving Iraq.”"
