Father Sues LDS Church Over Ordination Of Sons

In Utah yesterday, a state court of appeals heard oral arguments in a case in which a father claimed that the Mormon church ordained his two sons without his permission. Yesterday's Salt Lake Tribune says that he sued after the LDS Church refuse to issue an apology. The case is part of a broader fight between the boys' father, Michael Gulbraa, and his former wife Etsuko Tanizaki Allred over custody of the two boys. Their mother had requested the ordinations in Japan where she had taken the boys, but at a time after the father had been awarded custody of them.
