Who even is Lavina Fielding Anderson?! In this classic deep dive we examine the life of Lavina Fielding Anderson and her contributions to the Mormon academic field. Her story serves as a case study of how far individuals can pressure the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the inside before the institution's immune system responds. She's a powerhouse of a scholar, a pioneer in feminist Mormon studies, and an advocate for those who've survived ecclesiastical abuse. The Mormon Alliance was the organization Lavina formed with Janice Allred to collect and publish survivor's stories and advocate on their behalf. Both suffered gruelling and abusive disciplinary processes for their advocacy attempting to reform Mormon practices and policies. History repeats itself and the timeline of Protect LDS Children and Sam Young was telegraphed by the experiences of Anderson, Allred, and the Mormon Alliance. We finish the episode with a review of Erin Brockovich and a happy environmental news item from Liverpool.  Correction: At about an hour and a half in, Shannon referenced Victor Frankl when she meant Elie Wiesel.    Show Notes:  https://www.jstor.org/stable/45228305?seq=10#metadata_info_tab_contents https://sunstone.org/wp-content/uploads/sbi/issues/130.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20120215064851/https://www.sunstonemagazine.com/pdf/092-65-79.pdf https://www.dialoguejournal.com/articles/lavina-fielding-anderson-mercy-without-end-toward-a-more-inclusive-church/ https://www.dialoguejournal.com/articles/the-lds-intellectual-community-and-church-leadership-a-contemporary-chronology/#pdf-wrap https://www.dialoguejournal.com/issues/spring-1993/ https://web.archive.org/web/20080123061329/http://mormonalliance.org/casereports/casereports.htm https://mormon-alliance.org/SiteMap.htm https://mormon-alliance.org/definitions.htm https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/answers/Mormonism_and_Church_discipline/Scholars/Does_the_Church_excommunicate_historians   MOGP: Erin Brockovich: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195685/?ref_=tttr_tr_tt    Hinkley Groundwater Contamination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinkley_groundwater_contamination    Erin Brockovich: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Brockovich    Happy news:  https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/once-biologically-dead-the-river-mersey-in-england-is-best-environmental-story-in-europe/?fbclid=IwAR2UT3EKTfa-CMY9PZjQXcI8gJ8auRQ5VG4su6sq4DhSZ5CnD7iQqLsNahc   Other Appearances:    Come see us on Aron Ra's YouTube channel!

Esther's story defines the purpose of our podcast. She did her duty as a good little Mormon girl, a perfect young wife and mother in the church. She sacrificed her own freedom to protect her young daughters and also 16 of her cousins.  She was both a victim and protector as she survived many encounters of child abuse. Abuse affects her life from so many different angles.

Welcome to today's show. This episode contains another installment in the dangerous shitshow that is the Miracle of Forgiveness. Because the chapter we discuss is about bishop's interviews, for our main segment, we interviewed Sam Young to talk about his Protect LDS Children movement — now named Protect Every Child. We also go over some of the answers you, our wonderful listeners, gave us on our survey about bishop's interviews. Then to cleanse ourselves and you, we finish up with some happy news about cleaning up trash in the Pacific Ocean. And we should point out a content warning for the main segment as well as MoGP.  Show Notes:    Main topic: Sam Young's Blog: https://invisiblescubit.com/  https://protectldschildren.org/   Happy News:   20,000 Pounds of Trash Removed From Pacific Garbage Patch: ‘Holy mother of god.

The long-standing practice of having lay bishops interview teens and ask them questions about their faith and their lives, including any sexual activity, has come under fire in recent years. A group called “Protect LDS Children” urged the church to stop the practice, citing examples of bishops who were insensitive and even abusive. Church leaders made changes, allowing, for instance, those being interviewed to have a second adult with them in these conversations. But critics and some mental health experts maintain the sessions should cease altogether. Jennifer Roach, a therapist, recent Latter-day Saint convert and a victim of clergy abuse herself, believes the interviews serve a vital purpose. She shares her views on this week’s show.

Should the Mormon Church Conduct Worthiness Interviews for 8-11 Year Old Children? Earlier this week The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released a marketing research survey inquiring from members about the idea of lowering the age of youth interviews with clergy from age 12 to eight. Today we have assembled an all-star panel to discuss whether or not this is a good idea. Panelists include: - Natasha Helfer Parker (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Sex Therapist) - Roger Hendrix (former Mormon Bishop, Stake Presidency Member, Mission President, and CES Director) - Sam Young (founder of Protect LDS Children and Protect All Children) - Joelle Casteix ( leading global expert, advocate and spokesperson for survivors of child sexual assault and institutional cover-up. Joelle has considerable experience fighting the Mormon church in state legislatures in support of sexual abuse victims )

Madison (18) resigned from the church in April, 2019. After Jared began expressing public support for Sam Young and the Protect LDS Children movement, along with expressing public feelings about the church’s truth claims, Jared was summoned to a disciplinary council.

This week on SarahTalk... Sam Young is a father of 6 daughters, a business owner, and has served in various roles in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints including (but not limited to) bishop, bishopric counselor, ward mission leader, stake public affairs director, and seminary teacher.  In the summer of 2017, Sam learned that his daughter was regularly subjected to sexually explicit questions from age 12 to 17 during regular interviews with the bishop of their congregation.  These meetings generally happen once or twice a year in a private, closed-door, one-on-one setting where children are asked a series of questions to determine "worthiness".  Sam started Protect LDS Children as a movement to influence changes to the policy ensuring that no child ever has to undergo these meetings without another trusted adult in the room.

We dive into some dark territory in this week's episode. We discuss the inappropriate questions that some children have been asked by their Mormon bishops. We also shed light on the #ProtectLDSChildren movement. (Trigger warning: explicit sexual content including rape)

Due to the news of Sam Young's excommunication, we are rereleasing episode 55 from February 2015. Sam Young organized "Protect LDS Children". You can find out more by going here: http://protectldschildren.org ..... This week the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has once again been in the news in regards to the excommunication of one of their own: this time it’s John Dehlin of Mormon Stories – only months after the excommunication of Kate Kelly of Ordain Women.  There have been lesser, yet still painful ramifications (losing callings, not being able to attain temple recommends, disfellowshipment, etc.) for members of the church on a global level as we struggle with both historical, doctrinal and social issues we may not all agree on.  This is having a significant impact in many stake, ward and family systems – with frustration, anger and relationship struggles becoming unfortunate, yet common happenings. On the evening of the news that John Dehlin was excommunicated, Natasha Helfer Parker, Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, Joanna Brooks, Dan Wotherspoon, and Brian Dillman got together via Skype audio chat to discuss various ways they personally cope with the kinds of distress such things cause, and perspectives that help heal them in times of difficulty. Their sharing is this podcast episode, which is being co-released by Mormon Matters, Rational Faiths podcast, and Mormon Mental Health podcasts. How might we experience and understand our anger in healthy ways? How do we not let our emotions get the better of us and block out wider perspectives that likely would serve us better for the long haul? Can historical and sociological frameworks help us see these recent events in greater context, help us understand ways to move forward rather than repeat negative cycles? Are there larger spiritual or existential framings that can help us make peace with the tensions life and the many things we care about seem to constantly call upon us to bear? In a section led by Joanna Brooks, she refers to and describes this chart: Violence Cycle A poem for my brothers and sisters Please listen and then share your thoughts in the comments section below! Many thanks to The Lower Lights for the beautiful bumper music and to Brian Dillman for audio production of this podcast.

Colleen and Lesley take a chronological approach through the past 2 weeks of sexual abuse hot topics in Mormonism.

Chris Wei interviews journalist Kristina Smith and filmmaker Spencer Allred about their collaborative project, THE HUSHED ONES, a documentary film which examines the issue of sexual abuse in the LDS Church by looking closely at the McKenna Denson story and the #ProtectLDSChildren movement. They explain some of the decisions they’re making as documentarians with regard to narrative structure, artistic expression, journalistic ethics, and socioreligious activism; they explore the difficulty in digging into systemic issues with nuance and balance; and they discuss generally what they hope to accomplish—and who they hope to reach—with the project.

Sam Young is a Mormon on a mission. He wants bishops’ one-on-one interviews with Latter-day Saint youths to end. He wants the sometimes sexually explicit “worthiness” questions they are asked in these private sessions to cease. To propel his cause, he formed a group, Protect LDS Children, launched an online petition and led a march to church headquarters to deliver tens of thousands of supportive signatures. He even staged a three-week hunger strike to draw attention to the issue. This past Sunday, however, this former bishop appeared at a “disciplinary council” before his local lay leaders, who argue his actions have crossed a line by opposing not only church policy but also church policymakers. As he faces the prospect of excommunication, the question now is: Will Sam Young remain a Mormon on a mission? In this week’s podcast, Young discusses what took place at his hearing, how the accusations against him, to his mind, misinterpret his actions, why he undertook this fight, and why he will continue to work for change, preferably with the church’s help, whether he is in the faith — which is his hope — or out of it.

LDS Church responds after founder of ‘Protect LDS Children' says he may face excommunication The founder of the group “Protect LDS Children” says he received notice this week he may be excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.... The post Articles of News/Week of August 27th appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.

BREAKING NEWS! Please join us on Mormon Stories Podcast as we discuss the Mormon Church’s announcement that it plans to excommunicate Sam Young for attempting to Protect LDS Children from sexual abuse. The council is currently scheduled to convene at 6PM on Sunday, September 9 at the Lexington Building in the stake offices in Houston, Texas. In this episode, we discuss the letter Sam received dated August 28, 2018 and Sam’s initial feelings about the meeting, including his approach and preparation for the disciplinary council.

Braden doesn’t let Bryce fit a word in edgewise as we go through everything you need to know about Protect LDS Children and bishop’s interview policies. After a lengthy introduction, we hear from Sam Young on day 7 of his Hunger Strike and that is followed by a discussion with Nicole Jensen, a trauma and self-care advocate who works closely in the Post-Mormon community to help people process and understand the abuse that happens behind closed doors, one-on-one, in bishop’s offices. This episode is longer than our regular format, but it’s a dense story and requires a lot of information and time to properly dissect.   Nicole Jenson https://breakingabuse.org/   Protect LDS Children https://www.facebook.com/ProtectLDSChildren/

Bishop Sam Young is no stranger to Mormon Stories, and in these episodes we meet with Sam again to discuss his decision to escalate his cause to protect LDS children by attempting a 21-day hunger strike and daily spotlight near Temple Square.  We discuss the purpose of Sam’s hunger strike and allow him the opportunity to discuss the effectiveness of his latest actions to end one-on-one interviews between clergy and youth behind closed doors, and in asking questions of a sexual nature.  Sam also discusses the 29 questions he has compiled of questions individuals have been asked behind closed doors of an inappropriate and pornographic nature.  We then ask Sam what his next steps will be if his escalation does not bring about the desired change.

On this episode, we begin a 3-part deconstruction of the Book of Abraham. We begin with the cultural realm captivated by Egyptian Antiquities with Napoleon’s discoveries and how such discoveries influenced minds in 19th-century America. We trace collections of papyri and artifacts being studied and exhibited all over the country right in Joseph Smith’s back yard. We briefly cover how the Church acquired the Egyptian Antiquities collection of mummies and papyri which later became the Book of Abraham as well as the translation process. After that we continue to follow the line of possession of the collection and how it came into the possession of the Brighamite LDS Church in November of 1967. After that we have on Jake Farr-Wharton of iFriends to talk about a recent article from the Sidney Morning Herald covering the Protect LDS Children campaign.

On this episode, we dive into the world of Masonry and Mormonism. In 1842, Joseph ascended to Master Mason “at-sight,” and seven weeks later revealed his Temple Endowment ceremony. If we view more of Joseph Smith’s timeline, we find Masonry was highly influential on the prophet from his earliest years, long before the Book of Mormon ever entered the public sphere. Cheryl Bruno, who is currently writing a book on Mormonism and Masonry, joins us periodically to help us walk through the history of these intertwining fields of philosophy.

Kristin Marie Bennion and Amy Heffernan join Natasha as they discuss current topics in Mormonism surrounding sexuality. They discuss the term “non-consensual immorality” and how this is not a “thing," the Protect LDS Children movement, the situation surrounding Joseph Bishop and go into depth of one man’s experience who found his sexual perpetrator was recently called to be a bishop. During the conversation, Natasha realizes she is a mandatory reporter for this man’s experience. As she processes the situation with Kristin and Amy, she realizes she needs to report the perpetrator. Please note that Natasha consulted with her professional ethics/legal board and has placed a call to child protective services in regards to the case discussed in the podcast.

On this episode, we talk General Conference of October, 1841. Some financial problems within the Church are dealt with when Bloody Brigham Young rips up an old bank note and gives it to the wind. Jo offers a profound sermon concerning Baptisms for the Dead and then proceeds to hold it hostage until Talos’ temple crown is complete. A schismatic murmurer is dealt with while we analyze Jo’s business model of Mormonism. After that, we air a portion of the most recent NaMo Home Evening hangout with the Mormon Leaks team and Sam Young of Protect LDS Children discussing the recent headlines in modern Mormonism.   Links: History of the Church Vol 4:25 https://byustudies.byu.edu/content/volume-4-chapter-25 The Choice by Susan Easton Black http://www2.byui.edu/Presentations/transcripts/devotionals/2004_11_02_black.htm Show Links: Website http://nakedmormonismpodcast.com Twitter @NakedMormonism Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Naked-Mormonism/370003839816311 Patreon http://patreon.com/nakedmormonism Music by Jason Comeau http://aloststateofmind.com/ Show Artwork http://weirdmormonshit.com/ Legal Counsel http://patorrez.com/

The Nauvoo house is owned by the Community of Christ today, but now is when the saints are told to build it. The church issues "investments" into the creation of the Nauvoo house, which looks suspiciously like a terrible idea. Oliver Cowdery is replaced by Hyrum Smith and William Law is given a few too many superpowers.   Drink count - lots?

On this episode, we take a step back and try to view the recent headlines with a little bit of historical perspective. From the current rape scandal, to general conference, to the Protect LDS Children march, we try to put historical context on everything which happened this past week. We’ll resume our historical timeline of early Mormonism next week, this week it’s just journalism surrounding the modern SLC Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Sam Young is on this week to talk about the upcoming march  in Salt Lake City with his Protect LDS Children foundation this Friday March 30, 2018. We talk about the problems with closed door interviews between bishops and children, abuse, the stories, the petition, and why this needs to stop. You can learn more at protectldschildren.org Michael

On this episode, we dive into our historical timeline by examining the power of the press in early Mormonism. From the BoM to the Times and Seasons, the Mormons were publication fiends in absolute control of the information going out of Nauvoo through public literature. Ebenezer Robinson, Robert B. Thompson, and Don Carlos Smith work as editors for the Times and Seasons which goes off without a hitch until August 1841. Polygamy starts to be taught to various members of trusted Mormon elite without Common Consent of the average chapel-attending Mormon. After that, we have on Lydia Finch to discuss cults, how to identify them, and what mechanisms they use to exert control over their members. Stick around after the interview to hear about the upcoming Protect LDS Children march at the end of this month. Links: D&C 101 1835 ed.

On this episode, we invite Sam Young of the Protect LDS Children campaign. Currently, Sam’s petition has over 16,000 signatures urging the LDS Church to change its policy concerning how Bishop’s interviews are conducted. As it currently stands, Bishops frequently ask sexually explicit questions during regular interviews in a child’s development, one-on-one, behind closed doors, perpetuating a cycle of shame and creating situations where sexual grooming is normalized. March 30, 2018 marks the public march to the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City to deliver the petition to the Church along with collected stories from people who’ve been affected by these invasive interviews. Please consider joining us in this grassroots movement, whether you simply sign the petition, share your personal story, or you’re able to make it to the march, Sam needs our support. This episode is longer than usual and it’s punctuated by stories which may cause some listeners to feel triggered; listener discretion advised.
