WikiProject Christianity: Syriac Christianity Work Group
Welcome to the Syriac work group of the Christianity WikiProject! This task force seeks to create, improve, maintain, and provide a standard of consistency for articles about Syriac Christianity, as well as create a forum in which interested editors can work together to improve articles.
Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the project banners of WikiProject Christianity. You may also find {{WikiProjectBanners}} useful. To each of these banners, you should add syriac-work-group = yes as this will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories, such as Category:Syriac Christianity work group articles.
The following templates can be used on pages in Wikipedia to associate them with the Christianity WikiProject. Click on a template's title to see a sample of what it produces when included on a page. For a full list of Christianity templates see the main template page.

Chaldean - I am a Chaldean Assyrian and I was born in Baghdad, Iraq. I can speak our language fluently and I would like to help out anyway I can with the topic about our people.
Djwilms (talk) - I am British, and a Syriac studies scholar interested in the history and ecclesiastical organisation of both the East and West Syrian churches. The book of my PhD thesis, The Ecclesiastical History of the Church of the East, 1318-1913, which was published in 2000, went into a fair bit of detail on the history of Assyrian Christian villages before the First World War. I am now working on a second volume, covering the centuries before 1318, and on a companion book on the Syrian Orthodox and Syrian Catholic churches. I am presently Academic Editor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
