A Charge to Keep: Christian Responsibility Amid a Global Crisis in Religious Freedom. In a September 30 address to the Baylor community, Georgetown University's Thomas Farr will contend that Von Balthasar's confidence was misplaced. While Christians no longer attack Christians, they have not done enough to counter the growing violent persecution of their brethren around the world in places like Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Cuba, North Korea, and China. Western governments, including the government of the United States, are doing little or nothing to alleviate this emerging crisis. At the same time, religious freedom in the West, and in America, is under increasing threat, while many American Christians are heedless or unconcerned.
