Chaldean archbishop sees signs of interfaith reconciliation in Iraq
While the Iraqi conflict is not over, Archbishop Yousif Mirkis of Kirkuk is focused on how to heal his deeply divided country.
He called for a Marshall Plan for Iraq, referring to U.S. aid to Western Europe after World War II, during a visit to Paris to raise funds for an educational project he oversees. He is part of the Chaldean Church, which represents Catholics from Iraq and neighboring countries.
Through the project several hundred university students—Christians, Yazidis, and Muslims—study and live together.
