Kathryn Jean Lopez recalls interviewing Father Douglas Bazi near the White House. Bazi, Iraqi-born priest tortured in 2006, speaks on faith beyond church walls, Christlike sacrifice, and the need for Christian resilience amid Islamic extremism. He urges action, perseverance, and love to help peace in the Middle East and at home.
