Sad news coming over the internet: after 100 days of captivity, Christian peacemaker Tom Fox was found dead yesterday in iraq, the status of his three companions unknown.

The Christian peacemaker Teams issued an elegant and heartfelt statement beginning "In grief we tremble before God who wraps us with compassion." Fox knew the risk he was taking going to iraq unarmed. But he also knew that this witness  would mean more to the iraqi people than a hundred tanks. He knew the war we peacemakers wage is the Lamb's War, a war won not through strength but through meekness, our only weapon our humilty before God and our love of neighbor. Our prayers are with his family and friends, may God's comfort continue to hold them through these aching times.
