A northwest suburban church is stepping up its opposition to a ban against gay members and leaders in the Boy Scouts of America as the organization meets this week to reconsider the longtime policy.
At the Congregational United Church of Christ of Arlington Heights, leaders passed out fliers on Sunday that encouraged the 240-member congregation to write letters or call scouting officials to state their opposition to the anti-gay policy, said Rev. Rex Piercy, the church's pastor.
