They do not have the authority to mandate.

They set a clear path.

First, call for the removal of the perverts at the top. Ie. fight back

Second, wrap up your dealings witg the scouts and move to anotherprogram.

It find the resolution clear and firm.

I know they don't have that authority and I see what you're saying. I do, however, recall things from the SBC that were worded something like, "strongly recommends" and even if I remember correctly, "expects member churches" although that was years ago.

That's what I was thinking about which is exactly why I asked SBC folks how they see this.
