Many situations only appear to be “religious” conflicts. The conflict in Northern Ireland between Protestants and Catholics, like the conflict in Lebanon between Christians and Muslims, is not over religion.

When they can remain composed and holy in the face of trials that would make others cry out in anguish, this is the glory of a Christian.
