Another week, another breakdown of stories from the world of Mormonism.
This week we begin with a story of an LDS bishopric counselor accepting a plea deal that could allow him to avoid prison and registration. We'll break down the allegations, the plea agreement, and why so many are questioning the outcome.
We'll also cover a Young Women's activity that many are calling an example of normalizing grooming behavior, another Utah dentist accused of using trust and religious influence to prey on a teenage intern, the ongoing visa debacle involving the Mongolia Mission President, and a fascinating new portrait of Joseph Smith based on the controversial daguerreotype believed by some to be the only photograph of the Mormon founder.
We'll also discuss rumors of confirmation ordinances being performed before baptism in the temple, a new BYU study on retention and the growing gender gap in the Church, another temple name change, President Dallin H. Oaks' latest missionary guidance and reaffirmation of exclusive LDS truth claims, the Church's expanding LDS praise music concerts, and the opening of the new Nauvoo Visitors' Center.
Join Rebecca Bibliotheca, and Bill Reel as we examine another week of Mormon news, history, and the stories shaping the Church today.
