John Dehlin headed towards a Disciplinary Council

And allowing others to compare him to Hugh B. Brown on his facebook page. Rich.

Now the Church is trying to correct the media if they reported that John Dehlin was being excommunicated for OW and SSM. This is getting good.

How would Church HQ know what he was being disciplined for, exactly, if the whole thing is handled at the local level?

After all, it is President King who is using his judgment. I don't think we have any information about him coordinating at a higher level. I suppose that could be happening, but that's not the impression we have been given.

I could see the church making an official statement that support for ORDAIN women and gay marriage is not generally grounds for discipline. I believe an oral statement was made to that effect at the recent news conference. But no official statement that I know of. Then that would effectively be direction to the stake president, and other local church leaders out there in the world.

Interesting article on whether the Open Stories Foundation violates 501c3 orgaization rules.

Maybe Dehlin needs some pro bono work from that Bob guy in Canadia.

He gone.

Dehlin felt like he had to respond to the Trib's article on his compensation.

Kind of funny. In an unintentional way.

I do know that I respect Peggy, consider her a friend, and believe that overall it was a fair article.

I can imagine, however, how many active, faithful LDS Church members will respond to an article written about my compensation on the eve of my disciplinary council...I would very gladly swap my OSF compensation package with any member of the LDS First Presidency, Quorum of the 12 Apostles, or 1st Quorum of the Seventy. If Stack wanted to do some groundbreaking reporting, this would be a fantastic opportunity.

Translation: Peggy, I thought you had my back. That's really bad timing. Please, go dig up dirt on the GAs instead.

David and Goliath. Seems like he is just now a couple steps removed from asking for a sip of vinegar.
