That strikes me as a “Sorry, not sorry” kind of response.
This is an evangelical organization so that’s probably all you’re going to get. They have an entire culture built around perceived persecution so, even when they’re forced to apologize for something, they’re going to think they’re the victims of the scenario.

edit: I guess I shouldn’t make such sweeping generalizations. my opinion is based off my couple of decades as an evangelical and another couple watching my family continue with it
