An Open Letter To The Kidnappers Of The Two Syrian Archbishops

Wolfgang Danspeckgruber



Two years have passed since the disappearance of the two Metropolitans of Aleppo, the Syriac-Orthodox Archbishop Mar Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim and the Greek-Orthodox Archbishop Boulos Yazigi on April 22, 2013. Both priests were consumed by their efforts to care for all Syrians and to do whatever possible assist the people of Aleppo through an increasingly harsh and dangerous existence. I met the Bishop Mar Gregorios in 2012 and was deeply impressed by his personal commitment to his flock and to all in Syria - regardless of their faith or political orientation.

Horrible. So many people over there doing good, and they are then kidnapped, tortured or killed, or all of these.
