I thought BSA was all for this? The church should have been the one to evict the troop leader, BTW...

The UMC is one of the most liberal, if not THE most liberal, churches in the country. They have no problem with homosexuals in positions of leadership in the church.

I recall the announcement when the BSA lifted the ban on gay scouts that the organization was not changing its stance on leaders because the purpose of the organization was to provide opportunities for boys, not for adult leaders.

What they have yet to answer is how any scout who insists on being "openly gay" can possibly keep the "morally straight" part of the scout oath.

I'm not unsympathetic with young men who struggle with feelings of sexual identity, but I have none for the militant "openly gay" variety who expect organizations to kow-tow to their demands and declare immorality to be moral.

That's what has hollowed out many mainline Protestant sects and it will hollow-out any other organization which refuses to confront it.

They will be, when the screws are tightened down enough.

This "church" is run by a liberal witch of a "pastor," fully on board with the queer agenda, and willing to ignore the rules and push to the limits.

“I thought BSA was all for this?”

Just scout members for now I think.
