Excommunication
My question is how long does the process take? Assuming he met with the Stake President today will he be excommunicated by the end of the week or will it take longer. Further, because of his status in the church will they be announcing this over the pulpit?

I wonder why a person in his shoes would accept such a calling. Or did the stake president's inspired, prayerful decision to call him come before the affairs commenced?

I've never seen something like this announced over the pulpit, but you never know.
It will probably take a little longer than a week, but not too long. |

He had an affair and was allowed to apologize at a Stake Conference. My friend said he felt like he was watching a Jimmy Swaggert rerun. I like it better when these guys repent and go through the process quietly and on their own. |

He later became a bishop, not a stake president though. Rogue Stake Presidents seem relatively rare given the years of being in the leadership which is required to rise to that level.
