The Futility and Brutality of Mormon Excommunication
We should stand up in defence of the most vulnerable in society including those who may question the prevailing dogma within their group identity. Continue reading
Former Mormon Bishop of Helston may have been secretly excommunicated for speaking publicly about issues in the Church

“As current and former Mormons, many of us have been through emotional turmoil as we’ve struggled with our beliefs. Some of us even made the difficult decision to leave.
