Earlier I wrote a post about being featured in an MSNBC article More Evangelicals say God is Green, about the environment of all things, unfairly.
Today I got an email from the reporter, Alex Johnson, sharing his thoughts …
Dear Mr. Thomas:
Sorry I didn’t realize sooner that there was a problem with how I quoted you in my story on green evangelicals. No one wrote in to me about it, so I didn’t know anything was afoot until I stumbled on a blog post.
I understand that you have no intrinsic reason to believe me, but please be assured this was not malicious. We work very fast on the Web, both in writing and editing.
I’ve added a notation to the story that you were speaking as a private citizen and restored the parenthetical note. I have no interest in misleading anybody.
