Transitions: The Mormon Migration from Religion to Relationship
Many Latter-day Saints are asking important questions as they transition out of the LDS church and into traditional Christian congregations. The first three video modules of Transitions share testimonies about our changing identities, our hope for relationships, and about our search for community. The second three video modules answer the three “missionary questions”: Where did I come from? Why am I here? And where am I going? The series is not intended to convince active Mormons they are wrong. It is a compassionate guide for those who already know they can’t stay, but don’t know how or where to find real life. For more information contact Pastor James at James@gslc.net.
