Archbishop of Canterbury's Mission to Assyrian Christians
Could anyone tell me what were a/ the official, and b/ the unofficial reasons for the Archbishop of Canterbury calling the Nestorians of Urmia (Iran) and parts of Turkey Assyrians? No-one, not even the Nestorians, even dreamed of using the term Assyrians before then. Now this term has become a terrible yoke around the neck of many Syriac Christians, blocking not only meaningful ecumenical discussions, but even holding up the prospect of extra violent confrontation in Iraq and Turkey.
