Michelle Quist: Easter has come just in time for the Mormon church’s sex scandal

The sacred act was a preface, a sign of what was to come as Christ lowered himself to not only kneel before his followers but to accomplish the lowly task, the women’s work, of cleaning the corrupt body.

It is time again for Maundy Thursday. Time again for humility, and service and cleansing. Of ourselves, and the body of the church.

Last week MormonLeaks released a recording that a woman made as she interviewed her former president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Missionary Training Center (MTC), Joseph L. Bishop. It has been more than 30 years since he allegedly befriended her, brought her down to a basement room in the MTC and sexually assaulted her.
