SALT LAKE CITY- The man who cast the first vote
in modern history against a leader of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints has been excommunicated and
fired as chapel janitor.
Byron Marchant, 35, of Salt Lake, is the second opponent
of the church policy withholding the priesthood from
blacks to be excommunicated in the last two years.
All faithful Mormon males 12 years and older except
blacks are trained to hold priesthood offices.
Marchant, who is white, said he will appeal the excommunication
by the High Council Court In his stake
(diocese), and a church spokesman said Saturday the appeal
would go to the First Presidency - the three top
leaders.
Marchant was called to a church court before the
church's semiannual conference two weeks ago after he
announced a demonstration questioning the church
policy.
The church court was postponed and Marchant called
off his demonstration, but during the conference In the
Salt Lake Tabernacle he cast the only dissenting vote in
modern times against sustaining a church leader.
Marchant said he was excommunicated in a closeddoor trial which lasted until 4a.m. Friday. He said he was
informed of the verdict and the loss of his job later in the
day by Stake President Narvel J. Scherzinger.
Scherzinger declined to discuss the matter, refusing to
say even whether a trial was held. He said all trials are
held in confidence and "in the spirit of love."
