The Anti-Defamation League, which has worked with the Mormon church on the issue, said the church was doing its part to prevent Holocaust baptisms.
"My sense is that they are making every good faith effort to first of all block these before they happen, [and] if in the case that something slips through and they become aware of it, they then remove it and reverse it," ADL's director of interfaith affairs, Rabbi David Sandmel, told JTA on Friday. "I'm satisfied that they take this seriously and that they are doing the best they can to fulfill the commitment they made on this".
