Church wants nothing to do with Scout troops that accept gay kids
3 days ago
Boy Scout Troop 212 and Cub Scout Pack 212, in Louisville, Ky., are looking for a new home. Southeast Christian Church, the megachurch that held the troops' charter, is breaking ties with the youth organization following the Scouts' national council vote last week to accept gay members. Executive pastor Tim Hester said the new policy on gay members was the "catalyst" for, though not the only factor in, the church's decision. The troops, in which 300 families participate, have until the end of the year to find a new sponsor. "We cannot be distracted from the mission God has called us to," Hester said. "We want everyone, including ourselves, to live by biblical standards." [Source]
