Protesters outside the Tabernacle on Temple Square affiliated with the Ordain Women group demonstrated against the wishes of Church leaders. The group demonstrated in an effort to be admitted to the Priesthood Session of General Conference.
As a result, Cody Craynor, a spokesman for the Church, issued the following statement:
“Despite polite and respectful requests from Church leaders not to make Temple Square a place of protest, a mixed group of men and women ignored that request and staged a demonstration outside the Tabernacle on General Conference weekend, refusing to accept ushers’ directions and refusing to leave when asked. While not all the protesters were members of the Church, such divisive actions are not the kind of behavior that is expected from Latter-day Saints and will be as disappointing to our members as it is to Church leaders.”
