Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) has begun live reports from Iraq about the plight of Christians there and elsewhere in the Middle East.

EWTN Rome Bureau Chief Joan Lewis’ reports are broadcast on the EWTN Radio Network.

Live reports will begin at 6:05 a.m. Eastern Time Monday through Friday on “The Son Rise Morning Show” with Brian Patrick. On Wednesdays she will broadcast live at 9:15 a.m. on “Catholic Connection” with Teresa Tomeo.

She will also deliver reports on the “Open Line” show, which airs from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Lewis will also write about her findings on her blog, “Joan’s Rome.” One of the first issues she mentions on her blog is the Chaldean Archeparchy of Erbil’s lack of a bishop for five years.
