Messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention cast votes to approve a resolution on the Boy Scouts that expresses "opposition to and disappointment in the decision of the Boy Scouts of America to change its membership policy" to allow homosexual members. The resolution does not take a position as to whether churches should disassociate with the Scouts, but it does urge churches that do sever ties "not to abandon their ministry to boys but consider expanding their Royal Ambassadors ministry."

BUMP

This is good. I hope the BSA loses millions more members than they have already lost.

Drop about half the worthless merit badges and get back to being an outdoor, man-building program.

How do they plan on getting access to the kinds of facilities like the BSA has, like Philmont and Sea Base?

I've already resigned as a BSA merit badge counselor. I hope to find another organization to which I can contribute on expertise. Perhaps this is it.

“But at the same time, we are not going to become religious and churchy. This is not another church program. This is going to be a masculine outdoor program to raise young men.”

Jesus is the epitome of what it means to be a man. He is THE MAN, Christ Jesus.

“Masculinity” is all about seeming to be a man to other men, and it’s origin is in the flesh (which only gives birth to more flesh). Good luck with yet another moralistic scheme built on sand.

Build on the Rock!
