The Vicar of Baghdad

A story from the Times Online about a remarkable man - Canon Andrew White.

There are still places around the world where the possibility of abduction, injury, instant or even lingering death must simply be absorbed as a possibility and as part of the costs of ministry.

Behind the quite understandable interest in Canon White as an individual, however, you have to think of his family (who have returned to the UK) and. most especially, his congregation at St George's, Baghdad who have less protection than their vicar from those who might wish them ill.
