After 90-minute hearing, former Mormon bishop Sam Young waits to hear his fate, but he’s ‘pretty sure’ he’ll be excommunicated

Sam Young is waiting to find out whether he will be excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for advocating an end to youth worthiness interviews, typically one-on-one discussions between an adult male church leader and children that include questions of sexual activity.

After a 90-minute disciplinary council in Houston on Sunday, Young said he was left without a final decision on his membership status but that he remains convinced that he will soon be removed from the church.

“I’m pretty sure I’m getting exed,” Young told The Salt Lake Tribune.
