Alabama Baptists deny brouhaha over brewer’s water

Alabama Baptists deny
brouhaha over brewer's waterCLEWISTON, Fla. (ABP)–Southern Baptist disaster-relief leaders have denied reports–spread widely across the Internet–that a group of their volunteers in Florida refused to give water to victims of Hurricane Wilma because it came from a beer-brewing company.
A Fort Myers, Fla., television news crew first reported the alleged incident Oct. 28. NBC-2 reported workers cooking meals near First Baptist Church of Clewiston, Fla., under the banner of Southern Baptist Convention disaster-relief services, declined to hand out canned water provided by Anheuser-Busch.
The story was quickly picked up by several Internet weblogs, prompting criticism of Southern Baptists. But the Alabama Baptist newspaper reported the television station's story wasn't entirely accurate.
