BBC features Prince Charles speaking about Middle East Christians

This weekend’s ‘Songs of Praise’ – tomorrow, 8 February 2015 at 5pm on BBC One – will feature a clip of HRH The Prince of Wales talking about his concern for Christians in the Middle East and about his visits, before Christmas, to Middle East Christian communities in London – including his meeting with ACN and the Chaldean community.

BBC Radio 4’s ‘Sunday Programme’ beginning at 7.10am will also feature a clip of Archbishop Bashar Warda, Chaldean Catholic Archbishop of Erbil, Iraq commenting on Prince Charles’ fears for the survival of Christianity in the Middle East.

Dependent on world events, this is likely to be a featured item across News bulletins and other programming – so please keep a look-out.

Next week Aid to the Church in Need will be welcoming Archbishop Warda in person on his flying visit to the UK as a guest of the Church of England as well as ACN and Iraqi Christians in Need.

He will be preaching at the 5.30pm Mass at Westminster Cathedral and then speaking at 6:30pm in Cathedral Hall about how Christian refugees – uprooted by acts of terror and war – are struggling to survive and how ACN benefactors are making a difference.

Paul Vallelly comments: " This interview has already been broadcast on BBC Radio 2's The Sunday Hour. You can hear it here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b051qxgr

The work with Mosaic sounds very interesting and oddly no news outlets seem to have picked it up yet."
