From Premier-
Iraq's first
ordained Anglican vicar tells Premier he never doubts that God is good
because evil is done "through what our hands do".
That one Anglican vicar is Rev Faez Jirjees, who, aged 53, is the parish priest at St George's Church in Baghdad where Canon Andrew White used to work.
Christians make up about one per cent of the population in Iraq but many of them fled when Islamic State (IS) were at their most brutal.
Despite being bombed several times, St George's Church in the capital has, for a long time, bucked the trend by being a hub for interfaith relations, providing healthcare to Christians, as well as Shia and Sunni Muslims through its clinic, dentist's, pharmacy and laboratories.
