In my research for a final Electronic Journalism course project, I have come to see only a sliver of the pain felt by our brothers and sisters in Iraq, one of the Christian communities who have remained over the past 2000 years. My heart hurts for them.

This is Abbun D’Bashmayo, The Lord’s Prayer, in Aramaic. Aramaic is not a dead language; Christians in the Middle East continue to speak it as a first language and/or in the liturgy.

Educate yourself about the plight of the Iraqi Church.
