World Vision A/G family,
In the next few days the Boys Scouts of America will make a decision on whether or not to allow Homos*xuals as members and leaders. The following is a response by the Assemblies of God Superintendent Dr. George Wood, to the Boys Scouts of America.
“The Assemblies of God is committed to ensuring young men grow up with strong values. Since 1962 our Royal Rangers program, designed for grades K through 12, with 250,000 members across 87 nations, has sought to sharpen character and develop leadership skills in this critical age group.
We are saddened and disappointed to hear that Boy Scouts of America (BSA), an organization long devoted to biblical values, is now considering loosening the principles in which it was founded. Homos*xual behavior contradicts biblical teachings and God’s created order for the family and human relationships. We pray BSA will give careful consideration to this matter and hold firm to the beliefs that have made it a strong and influential organization for more than 100 years.”
Dr. Wood's statement was later picked up in an article by the Associated Press. To view the full story, including comments by Dr. Wood, click on this link: http://s2.ag.org/scouts.
Please pray for the BSA and our nation as the enemy continues its assault on biblical values.
