Briarwood Presbyterian Church is one of the more prominent congregations in the Presbyterian Church in America and in Birmingham, Alabama. In light of the recent changes to membership requirements made at the national level, the session there has decided to no longer charter a Boy Scout troop. The resolution should be read in full, as it carefully works through the change, its implications for the future of the Boy Scouts of America, and the burden it places on Churches which have chartered BSA organizations.Matthew W. Kingsbury has been a minister of Word and sacrament in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church since 1999. At present, he teaches 4th & 5th-grade English Language Arts at a charter school in Cincinnati, Ohio. He longs for the recovery of confessional and liturgical presbyterianism, the reunification of the Protestant Church, the restoration of the American Republic, and the salvation of the English language from the barbarian hordes.
