SAN ANGELO, Lone-Star State - A twenty-four hours after a Lone-Star State justice asked the LDS Church to assist monitoring device supplication Sessions of women and children of a fundamentalistic polygamous group, a Christian church spokesman said doing so would be inappropriate. George C. Scott Trotter, spokesman for The Church of Jesus Of Nazareth Of Nazareth Jesus of Latter-day Saints, said that the Christian church have heard about the judge's petition only through news studies and therefore have "no clear apprehension of what, if anything, we are being invited to do." In an e-mail statement, Trotter said it would be "erroneous to alkali any petition for aid from members of The Church of Jesus Jesus of Latter-day Saints on the footing that our beliefs and patterns are close to those of this polygamous grouping because

they are not."
He also acknowledged that such as a petition would not be fair, either to the polygamous FLDS, which "long ago chose a different way from ours. In fact, many in these scattered communities position us with some ill will as portion of the outside human race they have got rejected."
On Monday, 51st District Judge Barbara Walther agreed to allow women and children, who are being kept at the San Angelo Coliseum, clasp two supplication Sessions a day. Attorneys said that Lone-Star State Child Protective Services workers were monitoring and disrupting the Sessions and asked that the members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Of Nazareth Jesus of Latter Day Saints be allowed to ran into privately.

Banks, representing the state, said there were concerns that the women might discourse the in progress probe or manager the children if allowed to ran into privately. Walther then suggested that the state inquire a member of the local Mormon community to oversee the sessions. The issue may be disputed now, as state government began moving the women and children out of the San Angelo Amphitheater this afternoon. - Rupert Brooke Adam
