The end of Christianity in the Middle East and why few seem to care
As the western-backed bombing of ISIL targets continues in Iraq and Syria, a leading British Jew has established a fund to resettle Christian refugees from the region.
The 96-year-old peer, Lord George Weidenfeld, was rescued from Nazi Germany by Quakers. Now he’s set up the Barnabas Fund, which has already freed 158 Christians enslaved in Syria.
His campaign comes amid further reports of crucifixions and beheadings of Christians and other minorities.
Listen to it all from the Religion and Ethics Report.
