Girlhood in war-torn Lebanon shaped Army chaplain’s call to ministry
On the day the Rev. Benjamin Weir was taken hostage in Beirut, Lebanon, in May 1984, the Rev. Lucy Der-Garabedian was sitting in a classroom at the Near East School of Theology (NEST) awaiting the arrival of her Christian education instructor, Carol Weir.
Carol Weir, who was always punctual, never appeared that day.
