Interview With Archbishop Samir Nassar

St. Paul's Damascus and Damascus Today
Interview With Archbishop Samir Nassar
DAMASCUS, Syria, JULY 4, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Though Christianity in Damascus traces its roots all the way back to before St. Paul, the little community today is struggling to subsist.
That's because the Church is such a small minority in a Muslim land that individual Christians are lost to the cultural norm, explained Archbishop Samir Nassar of Damascus.
The archbishop, who turns 60 on Monday, has served that local Church since 2006.
In this interview given to the television program "Where God Weeps" of the Catholic Radio and Television Network (CRTN) in cooperation with Aid to the Church in Need, Archbishop Nassar speaks of the difficulties the Damascus Church faces, but also reasons for hope.
