Prince Charles told of his heartbreak as the Archbishop warned Christianity could be extinguished
Archbishop Issam John Darwish, the Melkite Catholic Archbishop of Zahle, Furzol and Bekaa, which spans the Lebanon-Syria border said the number of Christians in the region has plummeted.
Before the Syrian civil war broke out the country's Christians numbered around two million but it is estimated that more than 700,000 of them have left during the bitter six-year conflict.
During a service, with Prince Charles in the congregation, the Archbishop said extremist terrorists "could extinguish the light of Christian presence" from the region.
