My initial thought was that this was a rather silly on this pastor's part. But I was reminded, by my good friend, on the other thread posted today, that these are just people, volunteering their own time and money to go help out down there and they don't deserve the grief. I think it's a shame that the SBC is getting this bad press because a reporter would rather report the 'scandal' than the good work.
The "good work" in question being their determination to keep water away from thirsty people because the SBC doesn't approve of who donated the water.
Noted.
I read in our state SBC newsletter that millions of meals had been prepared. Why should they have to do something that goes against their beliefs? I noticed they did not mention the meals, clothes, etc that the SBC provided. Our church has collected tens of thousands of dollars for the disasters.
