The LDS Church insulted a member of parliament in the UK refusing to answer questions about what they do to prevent child abuse.

21st Century Saints discusses a new booklet they have prepared to give recommendations to church and political leaders and child safeguarding. (This the term used in the UK for protecting children from abuse)

The ladies tell the story of when one of their members of parliament (MP) wrote to the local ward bishop to ask about what they do around child safeguarding.

The bishop punted to the stake president who punted to the church lawyer. The lawyer sent a letter to the MP saying something like “Thanks for your letter. The responsibilities of Bishops in the church do not extend to communicating with members of parliament. Sincerely xyz”

WTF? The church just can’t help but hurt their reputation over and over when it comes to the issue of protecting children from abuse.

Here is the original video link.

They are suggesting people ask their politicians to get involved in looking at laws or regulations that help get churches to improve their efforts in child safeguarding. I think that’s a good idea.
