One thing tends to stay consistent among fundamentalist sects of religion - whether they are in the subcontinent of Asia, Africa, or over there in Utah a solid thread of misogynistic patriarchy runs through them.

Two months after Mormon Kate Kelly led hundreds in a demonstration to shed light on gender inequality in the religion — defying church orders to stay off Temple Square — the founder of a prominent Mormon women’s group is facing excommunication.

Kelly said she was shocked, dismayed and devastated to receive a letter Sunday from the bishop of her congregation in Virginia informing her that a disciplinary hearing had been set for June 22 to discuss the possibility of her ouster.

The leader of Ordain Women is accused of apostasy, defined as repeated and public advocacy of positions that oppose church teachings. John P. Dehlin, the creator of a website that provides a forum for church members questioning their faith, is facing the same fate. He received his letter from a local church leader in Logan, Utah, on Monday, giving him until June 18 to resign from the faith or face an excommunication hearing.
