Reuters reports:
British-led forces rescued three Christian peace activists from captivity on Thursday after finding them tied up in a house in western Baghdad, two weeks after their American colleague was killed.
The two Canadians and a Briton, seized in November, were alone in the house. No shots were fired in the operation, which was swiftly mounted after a suspect detained on Wednesday night revealed their location, a U.S. general in Baghdad said.
Thank God for that. Also, thank God for the notion that religious fundamentalists are being left behind, not in the rapture, but because many evangelical Christians are now turning toward such inclusive issues as peacemaking, anti-poverty work, and environmental stewardship.
