Kassig’s Parents Say Their Hearts Are “Battered But Will Mend”

At The Indianapolis Star, Brian Eason and John Tuohy report on Ed and Paula Kassig’s first public appearance since their son’s execution.

Eason and Tuohy write, “After weeks of highlighting their son’s conversion to Islam — which they had hoped might earn him mercy from his captors — Kassig’s parents for the first time publicly acknowledged their own Christian faith, in the lobby of the church where they have been members for at least three decades, according to church officials.”
