Well, the bad news is that the Southern Baptist Convention did not vote to sever their ties to the BSA nor recommend that their member churches drop their Boy Scout programs. They voted instead to throw their weight around, act up, and make as much noise as they can having a protracted hissyfit.Wish I could find a copy of the actual resolution they passed, it is a doozy from what I read. From various reports, it:
Condemns the policy change by the BSA to allow openly gay youths in Scouting programs.
Expresses opposition to the policy change and intent to have it reversed.
Recommends to their churches which do continue their involvement in Scouting to oppose the policy change and work to have it reversed.
Expresses support to all churches which do decide to discontinue their involvement in Scouting.
Recommends that boys who do leave Scouting join their Royal Ambassadors religious brain washing scouting program.
Expresses concern that the policy change makes it evident that the BSA will eventually change the policy prohibiting adult homosexuals from being involved in Scouting.
and -- this is killer --
Calls on the Boy Scouts to remove executive and board leaders who tried to allow gays as both members and leaders without consulting the many religious groups that sponsor troops.
How were they not consulted? Dunno. I guess they just mean: "We told you not to do it, you were warned!"
Crybabies.
