Some nice reading...People of many faiths were persecuted in both World Wars...Not to mention other parts of the last 200 years...
IMHO - The Truly Great Christians were the ones you mention...They have the ability to read between the lines in the Great Books, as Language tends to be a poor way to communicate great thoughts and actions...Quite a lot of it is most surely not in written history...
One of my Favorites...
Martin Luther King, "Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam"
