I've watched so many old bad Mormon films that someone decided I'm an expert on them. Excited to be the Friday night plenary speaker for @SunstoneOrg next month. Tickets: sunstone.org/2023symposium/

Forgive us friends for we have sinned. We neglected to mention our latest episode with @FemiLinzi and @muchcrap where they talk about one of the true bad boys, Mr. Sam Brannan. sunstone.org/e87-sam-goes-br…

E87: Sam Goes Brannanas - Sunstone

In the beginning, Sam Brannan might have been a loyal Mormon leader, but the glitter of gold and the allurements of the world are about to test his mettle. Join Lindsay and Bryan as they talk about...

We're at Sunstone this year, and we've brought new swag! Come check out our booth and find out new mugs and collect a button to show others that you dialogue about wondrous and difficult topics. We hope you'll be able to drop by and say hi!
Swag that's on the Dialogue table for Sunstone 2022. In the background is our Spring 2022 special issue on Heavenly Mother (the cover image of which is a white dress). In the center is a mug with our foundational Dialogue logo (the word "Dialogue" written in an italicized, serif font) with the words Est. 1966 beneath. In the cup are buttons and candy, wrapped in plastic. In front o the cup are various buttons with the same Dialogue logo, ones with white in the background and others with rainbow colors.

I got stuck in the desert with @FemiLinzi and @muchcrap, and still got to express my shock and awe that Rulon T. Jeffs won the Heber J. Grant award as a teenager. Listen and support @SunstoneOrg! wp.me/p2QXnQ-cal

Really enjoyed the latest ⁦@SunstoneOrg⁩ podcast, where ⁦@FemiLinzi⁩ ruminates on how much work & emotion she put into the depiction of Mountain Meadows Massacre in Under the Banner of Heaven. A great reminder of our historical work’s toll. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

If you're interested in understanding how the RLDS and LDS branches of Mormonism ended up being so different, the clues might be found in the story of the two sons of the martyrs: Joseph Smithh III and Joseph F. Smith. Check it out! sunstone.org/e61-a-tale-of-t…
