"Waking the
Lions of Babylon"
Fr. Noel Gorgis
at Chaldean Club - Sweden
A large
group of Chaldeans gathered at the Chaldean Club to attend the
Chaldean Renaissance Conference. Fr. Noel Gorgis was one of the
speakers who contributed to the event. He spoke of a Chaldean
revival and encouraged the people of Sweden to wake up.
"This is
probably the first time this country has seen this type of
revival. There is no doubt that the Chaldeans here are awake and
ready to carry their heritage on, but there are some who are
asleep. It is time for Chaldeans to wake up. We are the Lions of
Babylon and we need to wake up. If we see our neighbor asleep,
it is our responsibility to wake him up. However, if our
neighbor would like to remain asleep, leave him that way. Just
as a cat who sleeps, those Chaldeans who do not want to wake up
can stay sleeping like cats. Those who are lions, it is time to
wake up and roar, to let our voices ring throughout the world."
The
Chaldean Media Center in California is here to help other
Chaldeans raise their voices, to roar. The Lion of Babylon
stands on top of the figure of a man, not to kill him, but to
protect him. We are to be Lions of Babylon by protecting our
culture and heritage that we may pass it on to our children.
