I found this very interesting that Elder Jensen offered an apology. I would what GBH would think of this.
LDS Church historian and First Quorum of the Seventy member Marlin K. Jensen told the audience of about 200 that he was “grateful” for the designation and had great appreciation for the descendant groups and federal agencies that worked to achieve it.
“It’s a historic occasion,” he said, then apologized for the killings, saying the actions by the militia went against all Christian principles that guide the LDS Church and its members, who are saddened by the event.

Yes, extremely interesting. I read that GBH had actually wanted to apologize but the Church’s attorneys forced him to expunge the word “apology” from his talk during the dedication of the monument back in the 90’s…I wonder why.

Attorneys who give bad advice... who would ever have thought it?

Obviously to protect the church from litigation.
