In America, "we had a public that was quite riled up," the Reverend Howard reminds his son. "Who knows what might have resulted if this issue were not somehow addressed?" His awareness of potential militaristic responses to the hostage crisis fueled his desire to engage in the Christmas services for the captives.
It was in the Iranian hostage crisis that I understood how alone we are, and how powerless we are when other people take control," the Reverend Howard reflects. He recognizes this crisis as a turning point, illustrating the importance of faith amidst feelings of helplessness and isolation.
