Archbishop Warda: Jobs and Education Are Essential to Iraq’s Christian Future

Chaldean Archbishop Bashar Warda of Erbil says Iraq’s Christian future depends on meaningful employment as well as education and security. In an ACI MENA interview published by EWTN News on September 27, he calls for practical training and investment that helps young people move from university into work. Warda says institutions connected to the archdiocese employ approximately 950 people from different backgrounds. He urges partnerships that build economic independence rather than lasting reliance on short-term assistance.
