Faith Under Fire: What the Middle East conflict has taught me about God

The 'Vicar of Baghdad' encounters daily tragedy. What happened to his faith when a young girl in his congregation died, after much hope and prayer? He has met the best and worst: articulate, agreeable imams and rabbis; Christian venality and dishonesty. What has kept him willing to see the best? Every time he returns to Iraq he may be saying goodbye to his family for the last time. What do they think? He suffers from MS. How does he remain cheerful despite his physical weakness, and its progression? What does he say to God, alone in his study, late at night? He has been caught up in momentous events. Can he see the hand of God? Looking ahead, can he be optimistic about the future? Where are his sources of spiritual energy? He solicits prayer: why? 'Not everything God calls us to do is painless,' he comments. 'Much of my work is simply about showing love to the unlovely.' See more

About Andrew WhiteReverend Canon Andrew White

Canon Andrew White is something of a legend: a man of great charm and energy whose personal suffering has not deflected him from his role as one of the world's most trusted mediators and reconcilers. As a child and young man growing up in London Andrew was frequently ill. He set his heart on working in the field of anaesthetics an ambition he achieved but found himself called into Anglican ministry. He has since had a considerable role in the work of reconciliation both between Christian and Jew and between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslim. As Vicar of St George's Baghdad the only Anglican church in Iraq he lead a team providing food health care and education on a major scale and often in dire circumstances. Despite the pain from multiple sclerosis he is frequently involved in hostage negotiations and played a key role in ending the siege at the Church of the Nativity in Jerusalem. His personal friendships have included Yasser Arafat and Pope John Paul II. He has been kidnapped and lives in constant danger. He is trusted by those who trust very few.
