ALBUQUERQUE, NM - Arab Christians and religious minorities from the Middle East are taking refuge in the United States where they're able to safely practice their faith.Because of war, the economy and persecution by Muslim extremists, the refugees and immigrants are quietly settling in small pockets across the U.S.
Some examples: Jordanian immigrants take Communion at an Arabic-language Mass in Albuquerque. Lebanese-Americans help raise nearly $2 million for major improvements to a West Virginia church. Iraqi refugees who practice an ancient religion that views John the Baptist as their teacher hold baptisms in a Massachusetts pond.
