Excerpt:
Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the United Kingdom's first minister for faith, called for an international response to religious persecution at the Alumni House on Friday.
Tom Farr, director of the Religious Freedom Project at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs, moderated the event.
During the hour-and-a-half-long event, "An International Response to a Global Crisis," Warsi discussed the challenges facing the United Kingdom and Europe in proper enforcement of religious freedom. Warsi also explored the methods of preventing the persecution of both Christians and minority groups, issues that she considers to be part of the aforementioned global crisis.
