Suffer the Children
Dispatches To and From the Front Line
by Andrew White – ‘The Vicar of Baghdad’
GoodBookStall Review:
This is a very personal insight into the life and work of Andrew White – ‘The Vicar of Baghdad’ written by himself. He tells how the children in his life have an influence out of all proportion to their importance in the eyes of the world. His own two boys, the circle of children at St George’s Baghdad who take it upon themselves to surround him with their love and care at every opportunity and the children of All Nations Church, Charlotte, USA who do likewise when he visits there.
He has been able to build loving and lasting relationships between these children from such different backgrounds, widening their understanding of the situation beyond the thinking of their nation’s adults.
Andrew has made some pertinent comments on the various situations he finds himself in, but always comes back to the reliance he places on the support these children give so unstintingly.
Thought provoking and informative, moving to read.
