Meetings and Memories

Canon Dr Andrew White reflects on some of the striking people with whom he has struck up friendships during his many years of experience in the Middle East.

About the author

Canon Andrew White was the vicar of St George's Church, Baghdad, the only Anglican church in Iraq, for many years until his departure, ordered in November 2014 by the Archbishop of Canterbury due to security concerns.

Dubbed the "Vicar of Baghdad", White is former president of the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East. He was previously Director of International Ministry at the International Centre for Reconciliation at Coventry Cathedral, England. He qualified and worked as an operating department practitioner prior to becoming ordained.

At the age of 33 years he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a condition which for many years has affected his mobility and his speech. He has not let the condition hinder him, and at present he works mainly in Jordan among the Iraqi and Kurdish refugees, raising money and establishing schools and hospitals. He is the author of many books, and a popular speaker.
