Sam Young has decided to let the world know at the same time he does whether he is being excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The former bishop — who has been campaigning to get the Utah-based faith to end one-on-one interviews between Mormon clergy and youths, sessions that sometimes include sexually explicit questions — has scheduled a news conference for noon Sunday in Salt Lake City at which he will open a letter delivered this week from church leaders explaining the faith’s verdict on his membership.
Young says in a Friday news release that the event will take place on South Temple across the street from the church’s iconic Temple Square.
