(Reuters) - An American missionary held hostage for more than a year by Muslim rebels in the southern Philippines was killed and his wife wounded but rescued on Friday in a gunbattle between the kidnappers and troops, officials said. A Filipina nurse held hostage by the same Abu Sayyaf rebels -- which has links to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network -- was also killed in the firefight, Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said in a statement

Your# 8).......Yes, sadness/joy,......Yet,...NOT the 'hopeless' sadness/sorrow of the pagan/non-christian world/age!
'Indeed this is very sad news. I think our church financially supported the Burnhams; I know we've prayed for them. I pray for Mrs. Burnham; what a sad, sad thing -- liberty, but at the cost of her husband.
'Of course, Burnham himself has no regrets. He is rejoicing in the presence of the living Lord Jesus. But for those he leaves behind... how sad!
Amen,............More Grace and Mercy,..........In Jesus' PRECIOUS Name, Amen!!!

How horrible! After 1 year of captivity, starvation, and heaven knows what else they went through! I know that this was a firefight, but were they shot by the rescuers, or by their captors? Does anyone know?

"The Abu Sayyaf claim to be fighting for an independent Muslim state in the south of predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines,...
Have to contemplate how long before the United States is dealing with demands for a seperate and independant Muslim state?
To: Mr.Clark
The Abu Sayyaf claim to be fighting for an independent Muslim state in the south of predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines, but their chief occupation seems to be kidnappings for ransom. The best solution here would be to expel all muslims from the Philippines. The muslim religion should be declared null and void by all nations.

The Philipino president won't let us conduct military action in her country except for training her troops.

The Abu Sayyaf claim to be fighting for an independent Muslim state in the south of predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines, but their chief occupation seems to be kidnappings for ransom. Just like in Kashmir. Anyone else noticing a pattern?

I'm just sitting here crying and crying. This is terrible about this man and the nurse, but I am so grateful that those poor children got their mother back. We in the Christian community need to continue to lift her up in prayer.

Bullshit! That's what she says to save face. Watch what happens. We saved their ass in WWII and we've sent billions over there since then in foreign aid. Watch.

From the hymn Te Deum Laudamus
We praise thee, O God, we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
...
The glorious company of the Apostles praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee;
...
O Lord, save thy people and bless thine heritage...
