Guys, listen, there is more to the story than just skipping church a few times. Seriously. There would be a bunch more students in that one ward kicked out of BYU at the same time. We would hear about that. If that was Wayne Childs position that every student must attend church x amount of times per month, then there is no way that just Ken Walton was the only guilty one. Think about it.

Wow, what an unfortunate situation. I certainly hope there is more to the story than the article is letting on, because as written it reflects poorly on the church.
And I think we ought to be careful jumping to conclusions about the bishop and stake president, based on what the young man's father quoted them as having said.

I don't blindly trust the leaders. I know there are plenty of leaders in the church that are power hungry freaks. My point is, if it were just for missing church a few times, half his ward would be kicked out. If it were other HC related issues, the Bishop could just pull the EE and the honor code office wouldn't even have to be contacted.

Nobody has answered my question. If this was rule in Childs ward, then why isn't half his ward kicked out? No way is it soley for missing 5 meetings.

According to http://honorcode.byu.edu/content/view/3584/4641/ it can be appealed. Sounds like the SP said no but the link says you can appeal to the area authority for BYU.

I say those, because I am disagreeing with the Bishop if it is just attendance, but I wouldn't attack him personally. The system is set up where if he believes attendance alone disqaulifies the kid, that is his right. |
