Lois, it's astounding to see Mr. Veazey complain about "too much drift" when on his watch the church has officially claimed that it didn't exist before 1860, and that it is not the original church traced back to the vision of Joseph Smith, Jr. in 1830. That's like the teacher carving obscenities in the top of a student's desk, and then complaining that the student is coloring outside the lines. Teachers and presidents like that need to be fired.
