It may yet get rebuild, even if only for tourism.
SOMEDAY.

I sure hope so.

It was a modern church building. It had little historical value. I cannot judge its aesthetic value because it is not in the architectural tradition that I understand. Of course it can be rebuilt, the building, that is, can be rebuilt.

But it was a living church: there were people worshipping inside, babies were heard, singing was heard, prayers. Will that be rebuilt? Can it be?

I am afraid that the loss of Christian population and Christian life in the Middle East is irreversible.
