Canon Andrew White, often referred to as "the Vicar of Baghdad," serves as parish priest to a congregation of over 3,000 Iraqi people at St. George's, Iraq, which is also home to a medical and dental clinic serving all faiths.
Canon White is the President of the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East. ( (External) www.frrme.org ) and the Associate Pastor of All Nations Church, North Carolina. He is the author of three books including The Vicar of Baghdad: Fighting for Peace in the Middle East and is married with two sons.
In June 2007, with support from the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Chaplaincy of Multi-National Forces-Iraq, Canon White launched the Iraqi Inter-Religious Initiative (IRRI), a series of conferences of very senior Iraqi Sunni, Shia and other religious leaders aimed at the renunciation of sectarian violence and support for the emergence of an Iraqi state under the rule of law. A conference held that month of senior religious leaders produced the Baghdad Religious Accord.
Six other conferences have followed, each producing an accord, most notably, the first joint Sunni-Shia Fatwa in Iraqi history, in August 2008, condemning sectarian violence, and supporting the rights of religious minorities and the emergence of an Iraqi state under the rule of law.
