Another non-apology apology. They're getting very good at it. Translation: "It's your fault for misunderstanding what we said."
"We regret that personal opinions expressed by individuals have been viewed as, associated with or confused with the organizational voice of The Interfaith Alliance," the Rev. C. Welton Gaddy wrote.
Begs the question, who said this, and why are they a member of this org.

"It is really unfair for a company with $10 billion in profits to force tens of thousands of its employees onto public health," said the Rev. Stephen Copley, senior pastor at the First United Methodist Church in North Little Rock. "We feel like Wal-Mart has a responsibility and moral obligation to provide health care for all of its workers."
The news conference in Little Rock was part of a nationwide campaign, led by the United Food and Commercial Workers, to force Wal-Mart to provide health care benefits for all of its workers.

Wolves in sheep's clothing. Pretty obvious.
That's the apology? Their man DID make the statements.
The only thing this "apology" does is to confuse the issue.
