In September at an emergency summit in London, a coalition of faith groups, including Christian, Jewish and Muslim representatives, called upon governments around the world to acknowledge the gravity of the threat to religious minorities, including Christians, in war-torn Iraq and Syria.
Representatives from 14 organisations attended the emergency summit, held to look at immediate steps to address the ethnic cleansing of religious minorities in Syria and Iraq.
‘We commend the public and political responses to the migrant crisis, especially where intelligent and compassionate solutions are found to help those most in need. But in our headlong rush to help it is vital that we do not forget those people and communities that are in real danger’, said the Marquess of Reading, Patron of Barnabas Fund.
