The minister, who is widely respected for his peacemaking efforts between Christians and Muslims, was ordered by Archbishop of Canterbury to leave his church in Baghdad last December as Christians in Iraq came under increasing threat from the Islamic State terrorists.

However, White revealed that during his time serving as head of St. George's Church—the only Anglican church in Iraq—he invited members of the extremist group into his home to share with them the love of Christ.

"I have a tradition. I always invite people, even bad people, to come have dinner with me. I invited some of the ISIS leaders," White told WLOX "They said, 'If we come, we'll chop your head off.' I didn't invite them again," said White. "We can't work with ISIS. We can't discuss things with ISIS. There is no hope of discussion or moving forward. They are totally against reconciliation."

In an earlier interview with Christian Today, White expressed concern over some idealistic Christian sympathizers who have traveled to Iraq and Syria to join the fight against ISIS, emphasizing the violent nature of the extremists.

Recounting a conversation he had with one of his Iraqi Christian guards, White explained that the Christian fighters are "universally hopeless at fighting, let alone fighting ISIS."

"I said to him (Iraqi Christian guard), 'What would you do if ISIS were coming toward us?' He said, 'I would rip off my uniform and run.' So I said, 'Why do you do this job?' He said, 'I do it because I need the money,'" said White.

"Christians are no good at being soldiers. If going to join the new militia makes them feel good, great. But it will achieve absolutely nothing. We are dealing with an evil, evil regime as we saw in Libya with the beheadings of the Coptic Christians."
