to link personal ideas to the discussion

Explanation:

In group discussions, making connection refers to the effort that is made by both the leader of the discussion and the members to keep all people feel engaged to the topics that are being talked about.

This could be done attaching something personal/meaningful that is held by members of the group to the topics of discussion.

Relating one comments to another will influence the members to engage in further discussion about the topics. Tying different ideas will opened up the members to a perspective that they might haven't considered before. Last but not list, linking personal ideas to discussion make the members able to feel invested to the discussion since they can feel that it is applicable to their own life.

unless they converted, many non-christians (mainly jews and muslims) were persecuted

we need an attachment to see what you are talking about.
