French envoys bear surprising message from Mideast Christians
A French delegation to Lebanon, Iraq and Syria found that many Christians in the Middle East believe Western policies place economic interests ahead of their well-being.
Members of a European delegation to the Middle East say they were surprised by what they heard from Christians there: support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and criticism of European policies affecting them.
Chredo, a French nongovernmental organization that aims to help Christians in the Middle East, organized the tour. The group is formally known as Coordination of Eastern Christians in Danger.
