Alliance of Baptists declines to press charges for theft

Last year, the Alliance of Baptists was the victim of a $20,000 theft. It chose to turn the other cheek.

The Baptist network’s executive committee released a statement on social media on February 9 explaining that an employee at a mail-handling firm had stolen the funds. After learning more about the situation, Alliance leaders determined to seek restitution and redemption rather than vengeance.
