Quick answer

Two men from the priestly family of Immer are named among the guilty. The record continues its honest listing of offenders.

The catalog of those involved in foreign marriages continues with named individuals from another priestly house. Recording specific names lent accountability and seriousness to the corporate act of repentance. Such careful documentation reflects the community's resolve to deal openly and completely with sin rather than conceal it.
