Canon Andrew White heads up not only the Anglican St. George Church in Baghdad, but also the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East (FRRME). And while they try to hold things together in Baghdad, they take humanitarian aid to northern Iraq.
In his blog post of Sept. 8, he says, "There are still hundreds of thousands of Internally Displaced People who have been forced to move from Mosul and Nineveh. A large number of these people are Christians. Our work supporting these people providing relief has been huge. We have provided food, medical care, wheel chairs, baby’s cots and much more."
A film has been made of the sort of life Canon Andrew is living: running the church and medical/dental clinic, chaplain to the embassy, and negotiating with Sunni and Shiite groups - always in danger, always coping with MS and hepatitis.
Parts 1, 2, and 3 are here and go about 17 minutes each.
