			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the last week, SBC Today found itself involved with an article that, in the political world of the SBC, had the same effect as did North Korea&#8217;s nuclear testing on the secular political peace of the world.  We will not try to articulate a well drafted, carefully nuanced article in order to keep everyone from parsing every word to determine what we are really saying.  The following is from our heart.</p>
<p>To the International Mission Board:  We apologize for our rush to place something before the SBC that was openly discussed in your trustee meeting.  We should have waited until the trustees found out more information and had your staff make the necessary calls to verify the information being presented.</p>
<p>To the SBC Executive Committee:  We apologize for not making a phone call to you before we placed this story before the public.  According to Clark Logan, Vice-President for Business &amp; Finance, the information is available if we ask and we will pursue that avenue in the future.</p>
<p>To the Baptist General Convention of Texas:  We apologize for placing your convention in a negative light concerning Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.  While we were presenting to the public what the IMB was telling their trustees, we will not be so quick in the future to place a negative light on the fine people in the BGCT or any other state convention.  We assure you that we believe your hearts beat for missions as ours and we pray that the computer glitch is now fixed.</p>
<p>To all of our readers:  We do apologize that we went against the advice received from some of you.  We were told to take this down and even among ourselves we could not agree.  The majority of our team was not resolute that this article remain after the facts from BGCT became public.  This article remained in place at the insistence of Wes Kenney and Tim Rogers.  We take the responsibility, but in a joint blog adventure, these decisions reflect on everyone.  Therefore from the heart of those of us who operate SBC Today, we offer our sincere apologies and ask your forgiveness.</p>
