Review of Mormon Stories Podcast - Exploring and Expanding the

Exploring and Expanding the Mormon Tent

☆

“An incredible variety of in-depth interviews with a wide range of mormon voices, in and out of the church, and everywhere in between. Mormon Stories has been at the forefront of examining important themes and the culture, practices, policies and doctrines of mormonism, and their impact on real individuals across the scholarly and cultural spectrum. Don't miss some of my favorite interviews: Edward Kimball, son of the late President Spencer W. Kimball; Peter and Mary Danzig, former musicians for the Church and now exmormons; Ted Lyon, BYU professor; any episodes with John Hamer, a mapmaker for the Church and historian of the many branches of mormonism; Carol Lynn Pearson, mormon poetess and activist; Grant and Heather Hardy, who model a wonderful marriage, mutual intellectual respect, and thirst for Book of Mormon understanding; Joanna Brooks' 2011 Mormon Stories Conference talk about "lived" mormonism (and any other episodes with Joanna); Professor Michael Coe on Book of Mormon archaeology; and Hans Mattson, former area authority in Europe. There are so many hours of exploration, understanding and empathy. John Dehlin and his associates have kept this project going at great personal sacrifice over many years, bringing important issues to the attention of local and general leaders, with gradual success and acknowledgment of the issues by those leaders.”Read full review »
