In the Footsteps of the Nazarene: Archbishop Bashar Matti Warda
- Published in In the Footsteps of the Nazarene
“In the Footsteps of the Nazarene,” features the testimony of Archbishop Bashar Matti Warda, shepherd of the Chaldean Catholic community of Erbil and Iraqi Kurdistan. This young bishop tells us about how his diocese has had to learn to provide a new kind of pastoral care for Iraqi refugees who have fled the terror of ISIS in their cities and sought an immediate refuge in their cathedral and their pastors. Archbishop Bashar Matti gives us a glimpse of the situation in the refugee camps and everyday life of our fellow Christians who live in the daily hope of returning to their homes and freely practicing their faith.
