5-Year-Old Pastor’s Son Sliced In 2 By Jihadists

                                

The 5-year-old son of an Anglican pastor was sliced into two during an attack on the Christian town of Qaraqosh by the Islamic State.

The little boy’s father is a founding member of Anglican Church in Baghdad and according to an Anglican Canon, Andrew White of St. George's Church in Baghdad; he christened his son several years ago.

Andrew White , said: "I'm almost in tears because I've just had somebody in my room whose little child was cut in half."

"I baptised his child in my church in Baghdad. This little boy, they named him after me – he was called Andrew.

"This town of Qaraqosh is a Christian village so they knew everybody there was part of their target group. They [IS] attacked the whole of the town. They bombed it; they shot at people."

Canon White said Anglicans have been working hard to provide a lot of support for the Christians who have fled Mosul and Nineveh.

"Anglicans are literally at the forefront of bringing help in this situation and there's no-one else. We need two things: prayer and money. With those two we can do something. Without those we can do nothing."
