FREED: A South Carolina pastor, convicted in April of bringing ammunition into Russia, was released June 24 after spending nearly five months in a Russian prison. The release of Christ Community Church pastor Phillip H. Miles came a day after the Moscow City Court reduced his sentence. The 58-year-old had been held since Feb. 3 when authorities detained him after Miles didn't declare ammunition to customs officials ("Crime and punishment," May 3/10, 2008). Miles, who has led mission trips to Siberia every January for 13 years, said despite his ordeal he hopes to continue ministering to the country: "The Lord willing, I'll be back."
