They have taken an official position, but some here are under the mistaken impression that it has some bearing on what the local church does. It does not. (And there are no “parishes” in the SBC, by the way.) I don’t think their maker is confused about where the SBC stands as an official body on this position.

Which basically says: "We're really not happy with the Boy Scouts new position, and they should really change it back, but...ummmm... if Southern Baptist parents want to keep their kids in the BSA, that's cool, we understand"

Like I said, they need to grow a backbone, whether their churches choose to follow the "recommendation" or not. All Christian denominations that teach an openly homosexual lifestyle is wrong should be making statements encouraging their members and churches to leave the BSA.
