Syrian Christian leaders visit

Christian Rebuild organised and funded the visit of two Syrian Christian Leaders to the UK. The aim of the visit was to promote and raise awareness of ancient Christianity in Syria, also to inform people of the uninmanagable circumstances currently happening in Syria and its effects on the Christian population.

Unknown to much of Western society, Syria has a population of approximately 20 Million people, with a little over 10% of the population Christian, equivalent to more than two million people. Christians and Muslims have lived together in Syria for the last 2,000 years. Due to the current circumstances and uncertainty on what the future holds for Syria, many Christians are unsure what their future holds in this beautiful and ancient country.

Since the war began, over half the Christian population has fled the country. However, many of the remaining Christians are determined to stay in the country, and help rebuild this wonderful, ancient and historical society in which Christianity remains an important part of its future.

What we need to remember is that these people are not 'Christians in Syria' but 'Syrian Christians'. It is the duty of Christians from all over the world to help raise awarness and support this cause, ensuring Christanity is supported and continues to flourish as it has for the past two thousand years.

For security reasons, we are limited in the number of photographs we can show.
