Yesterday, President Obama received the heads of the Eastern churches, represented largely by the Aramean Christian delegates such as the Maronite, Syriac Orthodox, Melkite Catholic and Syriac Catholic Patriarchs. Besides submitting a joint letter, they discussed for about 45 minutes several burning issues concerning the present and future situation of the native Christian population of Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, including the case of the 2 kidnapped Archbishops. Lets wait and see how much attention the mainstream media worldwide will pay to this meeting (if at all), what will be written about it and, most of all, how serious Obama and his administration took this meeting. For he has to have made pledges to the Christian delegation that hed help them in certain aspects, especially when it comes to the survival of Christianity that is endangered in the earlier mentioned countries.
