Reflections from Budapest - Christian Arab Experience in Jordan - Discussion with Father Rifat Bader

Prof. Jeffrey Kaplan | Sáron Sugár

In this episode of Reflections from Budapest, we asked Father Rifat Bader, director and editor-in-chief of the Jordan-based Catholic Center for Studies and Media, about Jordanian Christians' situation. Father Rifat has overseen research, journalism, and social media productions focusing on the Christian Arab experience in the Middle East, aiming to support and empower those of the Catholic or other Christian faiths in the region, as well as constructive and positive dialogue between political and religious groups therefore; he gave an insight how Jordan in the Middle East is a "safe house in the midst of a burning avenue". We also asked how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict affects Jordanians and how Christian women are treated in the country. To conclude, we asked how common the emigration of Jordanian Christians to Western countries is.
