Mormons around the world are getting this warning Sunday: Stop posthumous baptisms of "unauthorized groups, such as celebrities and Jewish Holocaust victims."
"Our preeminent obligation is to seek out and identify our own ancestors," says a letter to be read in every Mormon congregation. "Those whose names are submitted for proxy [baptisms] should be related to the submitter."
No letter was read out yesterday in my ward, yours?

No letter in my ward either. Baptism for the dead was not mentioned at all.

Letter was read two weeks ago in our area. My wife tells me the same letter is (or was) available on one of the Church's genealogical sites.

It seems that everyone registered with an online LDS ID etc has received an e mail containing the script of the letter.
All congregation and Stake leaders have also been circulated the letter.
Each Bishop has determined himself whether or not to read it out. I guess that on the basis of wards where members are less questioning a policy of 'let sleeping dogs lie' has been adopted.
