Lavina Fielding Anderson, one of the famed “September Six” writers and scholars disciplined by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1993, got a big “no” last week to her request for rebaptism from the men who matter most: the faith’s governing First Presidency.
“I was not surprised or angry about the outcome,” Anderson said Wednesday, and she has no plans to try to open that door again.
“I have kept my covenants, remained close to the church and have felt that what I have done is accepted by the Lord,” the Salt Lake City editor and writer said.
