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.

Kate Kelly is excommunicated
Kelly, who founded Ordain Women, was excommunicated in absentia by her Virginia bishop for conduct contrary to the laws and order of the Church, the letter stating that she had persisted in an aggressive effort to persuade other members to her point of view and that her course of action threatened to erode the faith of others. Days later the First Presidency issued a public statement affirming that priesthood offices are held by men.
