Rev. David Wilkerson, founding pastor of Times Square Church in New York City and author of the well-known book The Cross and the Switchblade, was killed Wednesday in a head-on collision in Texas. He was 79.

Wilkerson's wife, Gwen, was also involved in the crash.  She is in fair condition and expected to recover.

"Thank you for all your prayers and the outpouring of love you have shown for the Wilkerson family," Times Square Church Senior Pastor Carter Conlon said in a statement, Thursday, on the church website.  "We are comforted by knowing that Pastor David has been enjoying the full presence of the Lord for more than a day now."

Conlon added that the family will have a private funeral in Texas.  A public memorial service will be held at Times Square Church within the next two weeks.

The Vatican was criticized after taking action against tourists wearing skimpy clothes.

Tourists entering St Peter's Basilica have long been required to dress modestly, but from early this week the Swiss Guards - the Pope's security force - Wednesday appeared to have extended the rules to the entire Vatican City State. The guards drew aside men in shorts and women with uncovered shoulders and short skirts to tell them that they were not dressed properly. Some female visitors bought shawls and scarves from nearby hawkers, while a few men had to go to nearby shops to buy long trousers. Others were refused entry altogether.

Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy wasn’t shy about his faith Friday when he attributed the huge increase in sales at the fast food chain to the wisdom found in the teachings of Jesus.

Pointing to Matthew 5, 6, and 7, Cathy half-jokingly told the crowd of over 600 people that the Sermon on the Mount is a sermon on how to operate a Chick-fil-A restaurant and how to deal with disgruntled customers.

“So when we probed into this one scripture verse it led us to a radical service makeover within our organization. It became high touch and high tech all at the same time, but particularly high touch,” said Cathy at Biola University’s second annual Imagination Summit.

Jesus taught his followers to go the extra mile, to turn the other cheek when someone strikes them, and to repay someone that hurts them with kindness, the Christian business leader pointed out.

It all went so very wrong.A priest in Moldova has been accused of accidentally drowning a 6-week-old baby during the boy's baptism, according to London's Daily Mail.
