Yesterday, Mormon authorities said they would reissue a four-year-old order prohibiting church members from including Jewish Holocaust victims in baptismal ceremonies. In addition, the church agreed to seek out and remove the names of an estimated 380,000 Jewish Holocaust victims for whom such ceremonies have been performed from its International Genealogical Index, which lists 147 million names.
