Lyman denied the charge, explaining that those without vouchers from previous bishops were treated "as having been cut off from the church." He did admit, however, that those who desired to join the church as new members could do so, but only if they were judged worthy.
Young had not received Lyman's letter before he wrote a lengthy epistle to the apostle, including insights into his attitude toward the outside world and those who were moving away from the safe confines of his Zion to San Bernardino on the fringes of the corrupt world.
