Controversy has erupted after a prominent figure within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) launched a scathing attack on John Dehlin, a well-known host of the popular podcast "Mormon Stories." Dehlin, who has been a vocal advocate for Mormonism's more progressive voices, has long been a thorn in the side of the LDS Church's conservative leadership. The podcast, which has featured numerous interviews with former Mormons and those questioning church doctrine, has been a source of tension between Dehlin and the church's hierarchy. The latest salvo from the church's representatives is likely to fuel speculation about the church's ongoing efforts to silence dissenting voices within its ranks.
Attacking a beloved host of "Mormon Stories" is a bad look for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
