The Alameda preacher whose two predictions that the world would end last year garnered national attention but didn’t work out as he believed, has apologized for getting it wrong. In a letter Thursday to listeners of his Oakland-based evangelical Family Radio, Camping said that “events in the last year have proved that no man can be fully trusted. Even the most zealous of us can be mistaken . . . We humbly acknowledge we were wrong about the timing.”
Add: The 90-year-old minister, who first said the “rapture” would occur May 21, and when it didn’t, said it would happen Oct. 21, has scarcely been seen publicly since suffering a stroke last June.
