During Providence‘s “Islam, the Middle East, and Christian Engagement with the Middle East” event in Middleburg, Virginia, Robert Nicholson of the Philos Project spoke about his organization’s work in the region and about his article in the inaugural issue of Providence, which argued for autonomous safe havens where ethnic communities, including Assyrians, could provide their own security.
Nicholson’s talk lays out his vision for the Middle East while addressing concerns some may have.
