Lots and lots of links at CT’s Weblog, plus news on the Baptist minister killed in Iraq.

The Providence Journal reports that John Kelley, pastor of the “tiny” Curtis Corner Baptist Church in Wakefield, Rhode Island, was killed. Three other pastors were injured: Kirk DiVietro of the Grace Baptist Church in Franklin, Massachusetts; David G. Davis, of the Grace Bible Baptist Church in Vernon, Connecticut, and Garland Carey, of the Valley Bible Baptist Church in Newburgh, New York.

“They were helping an Iraqi man start a church, the first Baptist church in Baghdad,” DiVietro’s assistant pastor, Doug Pettit, told The Woonsocket Call. “They were going to ordain him.”
