Hey everyone. I am a stake clerk and we recently had a new bishop ordained to be bishop by his father. However, and I have no idea how this is even possible, somehow the system lists the perform who performed the ordination as a member who has never been a bishop.
And unfortunately, the system will not let me edit this ordination like it will the Elder and High Priest ordinations. Does anyone know how I can fix this inaccuracy? Thanks.
How do you fix an inaccurate bishop ordination?

The bishop's ordination information can be edited by editing the bishop's calling.jsmidt wrote:Hey everyone. I am a stake clerk and we recently had a new bishop ordained to be bishop by his father.

It is possible for someone who has never been a bishop to ordain a bishop. A stake president ordains a bishop by assignment from the First Presidency and can do so even if he has not served as a bishop. (See Handbook 2, 19.6)
