Lamborn, a member of the Thunder Mountain Ward, said his Mormon roots go back generations, with a great-grandfather in the famed Mormon Battalion that trekked from Iowa to San Diego in 1846 and 1847.

Lamborn served a two-year Mormon mission in 1977-79 in Belgium, was elders quorum president four times and led a Mormon Boy Scout troop. Most recently, he said he was assigned to teach older men in his ward and held other roles.

"Well, I had no knowledge of multiple wives, so I did some research, including using the church's own genealogical Web site, familysearch.org," Lamborn said.

A remarkable uninquistive fellow! Actually, the last statement doesn't pass the smell test at all. If there is one thing anyone knows about the Mormons, it's that they practiced polygamy at one time. Whatever his reason for being excommunicated, it is apparent from his statements that he is no longer a believer.
