Neighborhood Chair Drops MTC Fight after Message from Church
posted on July 9, 2012At The Daily Herald (Provo, Utah) Genelle Pugmire reports that Paul Evans, the chair of a neighborhood group that opposes the construction of a 9-story building on the campus of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ (LDS) Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah, has “buckled to pressure from the church and is bowing out.” Evans, a member of the LDS Church, said last week that he had received “an invitation” from a member church’s hierarchy “to support the decision of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to build a 9-story building at the Provo Missionary Training Center … I accepted the invitation,” Evans said.
