From Times staff and wire service reports

The two, D. Douglas Roth and Daniel Solberg, removed from the ministry by the Lutheran Church in America for controversial tactics in protesting economic conditions in the Pittsburgh, Pa., area, had been arrested after staging a demonstration at the church’s convention in Columbus last May.
