Letter: Mystery breastfeeding woman should have covered up at church

The front-page story about an unknown woman who has accused the LDS Church of denying her a temple recommend because she refused to cover herself while breastfeeding her baby begs a response.

Not only has the mystery woman failed to identify herself, but she also leaves unnamed the stake president who she alleges maligned her, the name of her ward or even the city where she lives, telling us only that the incident occurred somewhere in northern Utah, thus leaving us incapable of verifying her allegations so as to distinguish truth from fabrication.

This bit of grandstanding might lead a reasonable, fair-minded reader to conclude that until the woman acquires the courage of her convictions and tells the whole verifiable story, she should remain quiet.
