Chaldean Archbishop Louis Sako of Kirkuk, quoted in Iraqi bishop says U.S., allies must save nation's fledgling democracy:
- "I think the United States and its allies have a responsibility to make every effort to put an end to this absurd situation, saving the democratic and representative model that will allow Christians to educate Iraqis in the culture of peace, dialogue and mutual respect....
"In the current situation, Christians form an indispensable elite in the region, given their technical and moral formation and their sense of tolerance," he said.
"Christians are an important element of that culture of dialogue and reconciliation which is the necessary condition for peace."
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
