DIED: Artist Andrew Wyeth, perhaps best-known for his "Christina's World" depicting a crippled woman struggling to reach a farmhouse on top of a hill, died Jan. 16 at the age of 91. Though some analysts considered Wyeth to be the most popular American artist of the 20th century, the son of illustrator N.C. Wyeth was considered an anomaly in the modern art world. His bleak portrayals of the countryside were often set in winter and featured muted earth tones—a style Wyeth once characterized as "seeing a lot in nothing." He shunned abstract art and embraced a rural realism that emphasized emotion and, at times, highlighted spiritual themes.

PASTORAL CALL: Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church announced Jan. 18 that it has invited William Graham Tullian Tchividjian, the grandson of evangelist Billy Graham, to serve as the church's new senior pastor. Tchividjian, 36, will succeed church founder Dr. D. James Kennedy, who died in September 2007.
