Jensen's complaint was aimed at two public statements signed by leaders of Mount Auburn: 1) the intent to violate the ordination standard and 2) its practice of conducting "marriage" ceremonies for homosexual couples.
Kirkpatrick responded to Mount Auburn's statement of dissent by calling it "clearly the result of much prayer and study." He praised the congregation for welcoming "our Lord's Gay and Lesbian children; surely they are vital to Mount Auburn's mission and ministry.
In the earlier letter, Kirkpatrick warned evangelical pastors and elders that advocacy of withholding per-capita payments to support the work of the General Assembly and gracious separation from the denomination were violations of their ordination standards.

In December 2003, William Hammer, a paleontologist at Augustana College, led a team of researchers to near Mount Kirkpatrick on the Antarctic mainland to search for dinosaur remains.
The team slept in tents in a field camp near Mount Kirkpatrick and traveled 40 miles each day by helicopter to the 13,000-feet site of the remains.
The team used dynamite to remove the tons of rock that covered the fossils, and jackhammers, drills, and rock saws to separate the dinosaur remains from the rock.

 Fossils found in Antarctica from 2 new dinosaur species / St. Mary's College scientist involved
Most striking, however, said Hammer, is that this fossil creature appears to be at least 170 million years old, which dates it back to Jurassic times, when dinosaurs first emerged as rulers of the animal world.
At that time, he said, the mountain now known as Mount Kirkpatrick was probably a soft riverbed that was part of the Gondwana landmass, which was torn apart during 200 million years of tectonic activity to become the continents of South America, Africa, India, Australia and Antarctica.
At UC Berkeley, Kevin Padian, an expert on dinosaur evolution, said the discoveries offered important new insights into the dinosaurs of Antarctica and re-emphasized how continental change has continued over millions of years to influence climate change.

Thousands of miles away in the continent's interior, a team led by William Hammer of Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill., found embedded in solid rock what they believe to be the pelvis of a primitive sauropod —; a four-legged, plant-eating dinosaur similar to better-known creatures such as brachiosaurus and diplodocus.
The area, known as Mount Kirkpatrick, was once a soft riverbed before millions of years of tectonic activity elevated it skyward.
Hammer, who discovered another dinosaur in that area in 1991, had returned to the site of that find to continue his work.
