Tonight on A Mormon Newscast, we're covering another packed week of stories from inside and around the LDS Church and the greater Mormon space.
Radio Free Mormon takes a closer look at the growing fallout from LDS Church Historian Kyle McKay's recent remarks and subsequent public apology, as well as the excommunication of Shane Baldwin and what it may signal about the Church's relationship with outspoken members.
Rebecca Bibliotheca joins us to examine the latest debate over whether Mormons should be considered Christian, the return of Michelle Stone to the LDS content scene, the surprising resurgence of the word "Mormon" despite years of institutional efforts to abandon it, and comments from Sheri Dew that have generated discussion among members online.
Bill Reel examines newly released Fifth Sunday meeting guidelines and what they may reveal about the Church's priorities moving forward. We'll also discuss the disturbing case of former Utah charter school director Jared Buckley, who recently pleaded guilty to producing, distributing, and possessing child sexual abuse material, and we'll look at the controversy surrounding an LDS Church attorney and Utah lawmaker who says he will not recuse himself from matters involving the Church despite renewed conflict-of-interest concerns.
Join us live as we break down the stories, provide context, and explore the issues shaping Mormonism today.
