Description
What does it mean for us to be heirs of Christ, destined for glory, yet called to suffer? Taking as his text Romans 8:17, Canon Andrew White—the "Vicar of Baghdad"—speaks to Wheaton students on the topic of suffering and persecution. Describing the persecution faced by the church in the Middle East, specifically in regards to his ministry in Iraq, Canon White calls Wheaton to follow Christ wholeheartedly, sharing not only in His glories, but also in His sufferings. While ISIS ravages the church in the Middle East, and while Canon White's own parishioners face the threat of death, the promises of Christ still stand fast.
