Confusion over Baptist affinity of the group arrested in Haiti
In the news, reporters are referring to the group of ten missionaries arrested over the weekend in Haiti as "American Baptist" or from an "American Baptist church" because they are from the United States, but the expression might create confusion among our constituents. Please know that this group is not affiliated with American Baptist Churches USA.
