In this 30-minute interview with Archbishop Angaelos of the Coptic Orthodox Church, Martin Thomas, SAT-7's External Engagement Director, asks key questions about the situation for Christians across the Middle East, what we can learn from their stories of faith, how we can pray, and also, how we can respond through SAT-7's Free to Believe advocacy campaign.
