Jewish Interests Want Arson Case
Stopped
In early 2006, three
Jewish
students went on an arson spree, egged on by the ADL's outrage
over the Southern Baptists drive to convert Jews. To date they date
sent untold 'Peace Makers' to talk to state authorities about dropping
charges. David Pollick head of the Southern University has offered
scholorships, Deborah Lipstadt has visited, local police monitored
school chat rooms about comments leaking out, and now it appears
Condollezza Rice is in the mix.

Convention Promises Support

Alabama
Baptist
Convention
Executive Director Rick Lance released a statement saying the group was
responding in multiple ways to the fires.
“We’re
working with the leadership of the Bibb
Baptist
Association to provide prayer support and damage assessment for these
churches,” he said. “As quickly as possible, we anticipate having mobile
chapels available for use by the two churches whose facilities were
destroyed.
He also
said the state
convention would provide
“appropriate financial assistance” to the
convention-affiliated
churches damaged. All of the churches have small
congregations and budgets

Checks Sent To Baptist Churches
Checks from Alabama
Baptist
disaster relief funds went to each of these churches
as well. In an article published in The Wall Street Journal, the
pastors said it was the first time predominately black
Baptist
churches had received funds from
Southern
Baptists.
Technically the funds did not come from the
Southern
Baptist
Convention
(SBC). They came from the Alabama
Baptist
State Convention,
which cooperates with the SBC. It was the
caring and organization of their fellow Alabamians that made the gifts
possible
