United Methodists Reject Scout Policy Review
(May 23, 2001 - Flint Journal)
http://fl.mlive.com/news/index.ssf?/news/stories/20010526f26a8meths.frm
United Methodists in the Detroit Conference refused last weekend to ask member congregations to review their policies
on Boy Scout troops they sponsor. At their annual conference at Adrian College, the conference rejected a
resolution from Reconciling United Methodists to consider, discuss and decide on a compassionate course of action
on homosexuality. Boy Scouts nationally have adopted a policy barring homosexuals from being a Scout, a Scout
leader or an administrator. The United Methodist Church Constitution affirms that all people shall be able to
participate in Methodist programs and ministries.
