Vicar of Baghdad

Remember the "wacky evangelical believing Anglican priest" in Baghdad (May 21 & 22 posts)?  Iraq and its people are in greater distress and danger than ever.

The vicar blogs about conditions here:  "Things are so bad now in Iraq, the worst they have ever been . . The army have even fled.

"ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Group), a group that does not even see Al Qaida as extreme enough, has moved into Mosul, which is Nineveh. It has totally taken control, destroyed all government departments. Allowed all prisoners out of the prisons. Killed countless numbers of people. There are bodies over the streets 

"The area is the heartland of the Christian community . . the Christian centre of Iraq has been totally ransacked. The tanks are moving into the Christian villages destroying them . . "
