Baghdad, formerly named “City of Peace,” is the capital of Iraq and one of the largest urban agglomerations in the Middle East. In fact, with 7.7 million people, it is second in population only to Cairo in the Arab world.
When Iraq was at the height of its stability and economic stature in the ‘70s, Baghdad was revered by Muslims as the cosmopolitan center of the Arab world. After enduring seemingly constant war and conflict over the past 50 years, this emblem feels like a fading memory to its people.
今天,大多数伊拉克传统的基督教少数群体都在巴格达,人数约为 25 万人。随着前所未有的人口增长和持续的经济不稳定,为伊拉克的耶稣追随者打开了一扇机会之窗,通过只有在弥赛亚身上才能找到的上帝的平安来治愈他们支离破碎的国家。
“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
Ephesians 4:3 (NIV)
