Father Jacques Mourad, a Syriac Catholic monk and priest, has been elected Archbishop of Homs by the Synod of Bishops of the Church of Antioch.
After the kidnapping, he lived in Mar Elian’s sister monasteries of Cori and Sulaymanyah . Upon returning to Syria in 2020, he served as deputy superior and bursar of the Mar Elian community.Father Mourad recounted the story of his kidnapping in the book “A monk held hostage: A jihadist prisoner’s struggle for peace”, written together with journalist Amaury Guillem.
"I understood then that those who decide not to practise violence can, by their choice, change the attitude of those who are used to bearing arms," he told Vatican News."We were saved because of our vocation as Christians, witnesses of peace.”For Father Mourad, “trust in dialogue is a principle, it is not linked to the attitude of others.”
