The Chaldean Synod established the Chaldean Heritage Committee to preserve the Church's cultural and spiritual identity

The Chaldean Synod, which met in Rome from October 16 to 19, decided to create the Chaldean Heritage Committee to address the loss of cultural and historical assets within Iraq and the diaspora. The decision follows the destruction of churches and monasteries, the displacement of faithful, and the decline of Chaldean language, arts, and archives.

The committee will document and promote Chaldean heritage to safeguard the community's identity and transmit it to younger generations. Its work includes scholarly and archival efforts focused on the Chaldean language, liturgical chants, and manuscripts located both inside and outside Iraq.

The committee's mandate also covers the preservation of diocesan archives, libraries, and architecture. It will document Chaldean arts, including contributions to theater, cinema, painting, and sculpture, to ensure these elements remain part of the community's life.
