Well-Known NYC Pastor Hospitalized With Ruptured Intestine

Pastor Bill Devlin-- the man best known for fighting for churches' rights to rent New York City public schools in off hours-- nearly passed away this past weekend. He underwent emergency surgery Saturday for a ruptured intestine, but is expected to fully recover. Doctors said he was fasting at the time, and that likely saved his life.
