Black and White and Authority, a Breaking Mormon Mood


More than two decades ago, now, I spent some time with my Stake President, Kerry Heinz, discussing the articles I had published in Mormon scholarly venues and the transcripts of talks I had given. President Heinz was very concerned that my work would damage people’s testimonies.  

I felt the opposite. We argued strongly, because I felt that Heinz’ approach built people’s testimonies on sand.
