c. 2016 Religion News Service
SALT LAKE CITY (RNS) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which prides itself on being law-abiding, sought to distance itself Monday (January 4) from self-styled militiamen who last weekend seized a federal wildlife reserve in southeastern Oregon.
In a statement, the LDS church condemned the armed seizure of the facility and said it was “deeply troubled” by reports that the militiamen are doing so based on scriptural principles.
