CBS) This segment was originally broadcast on Dec. 2, 2007. It was updated on June 26, 2008.

From the time of Jesus, there have been Christians in what is now Iraq. The Christian community took root there after the Apostle Thomas headed east in the year 35.

But now, after nearly 2,000 years, Iraqi Christians are being hunted, murdered and forced to flee -- persecuted on a biblical scale in Iraq's religious civil war. You'd have to be mad to hold a Christian service in Iraq today, but if you must, then the vicar of Baghdad is your man. He's the Reverend Canon Andrew White, an Anglican chaplain who suffers from multiple sclerosis and from a fanatical determination to save the last Iraqi Christians from the purge.

4. Every Christian in the U.S.A. should see this this 60 minute segment.

The Christian Right that supported this person, should take a long look at this. But they won't.

5. Weren't the Iraqi Christians exploited as collaborators by the Coalition occupiers?

Thus bringing a lot this upon themselves?
