For hundreds of years, there was a vibrant, growing church across the Middle East, spreading across places like Iraq and Syria, expanding as far as China, India, and beyond. These Christians have largely been lost to history; what happened to them? What events led to their disappearance, and what does that mean for us today? Lucas Hilty explains this largely forgotten disappearance of a once well-established church network. The tragedy of a region losing Christianity is a sober thing, and there is much for us to consider from this story.
