The September Six
Founder, Ordain Women
Kelly, a human-rights lawyer, founded Ordain Women in 2013 and organized women seeking admission to the priesthood session of general conference. She was excommunicated in June 2014; the letter from her bishop cited conduct contrary to the laws and order of the Church and an aggressive effort to persuade other members to her point of view. Her case is the clearest twenty-first-century successor to 1993, and the first fought largely online.
Speaking Truth to Power
Founder, Ordain Women
Kelly founded Ordain Women in 2013 and organised women to request admission to the priesthood session of general conference. She was excommunicated in absentia on 23 June 2014, her bishop's court in Virginia sitting while she was in Utah. In the days around it more than a dozen Latter-day Saints across the United States told the New York Times they had been warned by their bishops of discipline or loss of temple privileges over comments they had made online about their faith. Kelly and John Dehlin were interviewed together on RadioWest five days before her council, in the first case in this topic where the accused ran a public communications campaign of their own in real time.
