Some media sources have labeled these individuals as "American Baptists". While the people involved are Baptists from the United States, they are not members of the denomination known as ABCUSA. ABCUSA currently has missionaries doing ministry in Haiti, but they are not involved in this incident. ABCUSA members continue to pray for the victims of the earthquake and all those working to aid Haitians during this difficult time. American Baptist Churches USA is one of 36 member communions of the National Council of Churches. NCC News contact: Philip E. Jenks, 212-870-2228 (office), 646-853-4212 (cell) , pjenks@ncccusa.org |
