Organizers of a petition drive to ask the Mormon church to reconsider its policies and political activism against gay marriage are set to deliver the documents to church headquarters.
The Foundation for Reconciliation has collected more than 2,000 signatures on the petition which has been circulating online since June.
About 50 people are expected to deliver the petition to the offices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Wednesday.
Organizer Cheryl Nunn of Santa Cruz, Calif., says the petition is a reaction to the Salt Lake City-based church's support for Proposition 8, a 2008 ballot initiative that banned gay marriage in California.
The foundation is made up of current and former church members.
