Research Report - Two Days in Erbil

This article reflects two days of intensive interviews with the leaders of the historical churches of Iraqi Kurdistan which was conducted in Erbil in March 2023. Many of the themes that emerged from these interviews were greatly amplified, and in some cases questioned, in subsequent interviews in Erbil and Dohuk, and in the scattered villages around the country. The article offers few conclusions, but as an interim report, points the way toward further research.
