Follow-up to story on Mississippi Baptist church vote to exclude blacks

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]wyldraven)

There is a new version of the story on the newspaper website.

Pastor claims church voted to reject black membership, resigns

This part is what seems to be new to the story. The church is claiming now that the vote never occurred, and that the pastor is trying to harm the church.

After the Daily Journal contacted Fellowship Baptist members, they gathered Aug. 17 to form a response. Mike Dillard, who acted as spokesperson for the church, said the congregation "categorically denies" accusations that the church took such a vote and feels the charge is an attempt by a party to do them harm.
You can compare this to the Google cache of the original story here. From the original version:
Fellowship Baptist Church members were contacted for this article but declined to comment.
