He helped destroy one of the oldest Churches on earth

Tony Blair has helped destroy one of the oldest Churches on earth
Posted By: Ed West at May 11, 2009 Telegraph blogs

If George Bush and Tony Blair were "crusaders", as Muslims insist, then they were the worst in history. Worst, that is, as in the most ineffective. What other Crusade has resulted in the Christian population of a country being almost totally destroyed?

Now that the Americans are leaving Iraq, the ancient Christian community, who converted in the second century while our ancestors were still worshipping rocks, and who still speak Aramaic, will pay the ultimate price. Nice one, Tony, you've helped to destroy one of the oldest Christian communities on earth and with it the language of Christ. Stick that on the wall of your inter-faith centre.

Tintern Abbey,
South Wales

Saturday, 4th of July 2009

The idea is to arrive to Tintern Abbey at around
11:00 am (starting by coaches / mini busses from different locations, depending on level on interest, spend a couple of hours visiting the place during which time we will be guided by a tour guide and later on taking a bus tour around the area which is very picturesque. We can also stop at a nice pub for a quick drink. At about 2-3 pm we will have either a BBQ, or Buffet Lunch. Thereafter we can visit Cardiff Bay, the Millennium Stadium or Cardiff Castle.


Of course, those already living in Wales, can join us and any help they can give would be welcomed.
