Witnesses on the martyrdom of 40 Burundians killed by Hutu rebels and 21 Copts killed by ISIS extremists, with Fr. Zacharie Bukuru, Benedictine monk in Buta, Burundi, His Grace Anba David, bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of New York and New England, and Rev. Marcel Uwineza, SJ, Rwandan genocide survivor, moderated by Barbara Gagliotti, foundations officer, AVSI-USA
What do 40 young boys affirming their unity in God to the point of dying rather than giving in to hate and tribal division say to our fragmented society? What kind of life do 21 humble laborers holding fast to their faith to the point of shedding their blood witness to? What do stories of unimaginable forgiveness suggest to our seemingly unchangeable prejudices?
Speakers will share stories of people who lived fully, who can be true friends.
This event is sponsored by Plough Publishing House.
