A Southern Baptist leader apologized this week for any hurt caused by explosive remarks accusing President Barack Obama and other black leaders of exploiting Trayvon Martin’s death for political gain.
“I am writing to express my deep regret for any hurt or misunderstanding my comments about the Trayvon Martin case have generated,” Richard Land wrote in letter to Southern Baptist Convention President Bryant Wright.
“It grieves me to hear that any comments of mine have to any degree set back the cause of racial reconciliation in Southern Baptist or American life.”
