Delegates at the Southern Baptist Convention approved a resolution Wednesday opposing a new Boy Scouts of America policy to allow gay youths to join the troops. It’s a move applauded by the leadership of area congregations, with Lakewood Baptist Church’s senior pastor calling the new Boy Scout policy “another example of moral compromise.” “I think that the legacy of producing great leaders has been lost,” Tom Smiley said, “and I’m very saddened by it.”
