A group of just more than 200 women and their male supporters entered through the gates of Temple Square Saturday seeking admission to the male gathering of priesthood holders at LDS general conference, despite requests from church officials that they not do so.
For the second consecutive conference, the women were invited to view the meeting over broadcast outlets. But group organizers rejected church requests to not use the meeting, designed to bring instruction and fellowship to priesthood holders, or Temple Square as a place to demonstrate their desire for priesthood ordination of women.
