The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was rocked this week by the release of a damaging recording of the former head of its Missionary Training Center admitting he had behaved inappropriately with a sister missionary and, potentially, other women under his watch.
A different former missionary surreptitiously recorded herself confronting Joseph L. Bishop, decades after the events, accusing him of attempting to rape her in his second office in the basement of the training center — something he disputed, although he acknowledged inappropriate behavior toward the other young woman. And he confessed to Brigham Young University police that he had, decades ago, asked the woman who recorded him to expose her breasts.
