   RS>out, (saracasm off) and they'll happily kick out religions *THEY* don't   
   RS>like too.   
      
      
      
   RS>BTW, the ACLU is looking into this, as we speak.   
      
      
      
   RS>A Presbyterian church was happy to have Jeremy and Jodi Stokes as Cub   
   RS>Scout leaders, at least until officials there found out they are Mormons   
   RS>and told them they would have to step down because the church does not   
   RS>consider them real Christians.   
      
      
   RS>The Stokeses enrolled their sons as Scouts at Christ Covenant Church, a   
   RS>Presbyterian congregation about 10 miles from Charlotte, N.C., then   
   RS>expressed interest in volunteering as leaders. Church officials were   
   RS>initially thrilled earlier this month, the Stokeses said, until they saw   
   RS>on the couple's application forms that they belong to the Church of Jesus   
   RS>Christ of Latter-day Saints.   
      
      
   RS>After two Scout meetings, the Stokeses were told their sons, 6 and 8 years   
   RS>old, could remain in their packs, but the parents couldn't serve as   
   RS>leaders.

   This proves nothing except that Christ Covenant Church has a certain criteria   
   that their Cub Scout leaders are expected to meet....that the parents didn't.   
      
      
   The ACLU will no doubt obtain a ruling from some liberal whacko federal judge   
   that will fuck everything up for everybody else. And the windup will probably   
   be that there will be *no* Cub Scouting at, for, or by, that church   
   organization, for anybody!   
      
      
   By the way.....the church is in the right, for the same reason that a Jewish   
   Synagogue would be right to refuse a Gentile to take part in one of its   
   activities.
