Mormonism

[close] Since the inception of the Latter Day Saints, things have gone awry. Groups have splintered off, polygamy has been practiced in unhealthy settings, and murders have been committed in the name of God. Plenty is written on the topic, but there is so much that is yet unwritten. Let's discuss.

[close] This is a book club for LDS women (or women respectful of the LDS/Mormon/The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints faith) to read and discuss books that we wouldn't feel guilty having on our bookshelves! All genres of books welcome, and all clean read suggestions are encouraged!

[close] A space for thoughtful discussion on theology and beyond: meaning, morality, and the depths to understanding human life. This group welcomes diverse traditions, philosophical inquiry, and reflective dialogue about sacred texts, inner life, ethical questions, and the role of religion in the modern world. The goal is not preaching or debate for victory, but understanding, exploration, and respectful exchange of ideas. Remember that respect comes first. Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, ridicule, or hostility toward beliefs or non-belief. Feel free to share perspectives, interpretations, and experiences, but this is a discussion space, not a place to persuade others to adopt a faith, so basically no preaching or conversion attempts. Stay thoughtful and on topic, posts should relate to theology, meaning, morality, sacred texts, literature, psychology of belief, or religion in society. Interpretations are welcome, claims of absolute authority are not. All comments and conversations must be in English. Don’t hesitate to open a topic under any theme that has already been featured. If you’re unsure where your topic belongs, you’re welcome to ask in the Open Discussion under the thread titled Topic Creation. And don't forget that we also have a Cafetaria for casual conversation or introductions in the Open Discussion section.

[close] Welcome to our bookshelf! Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) inspires women of faith to be ambassadors of peace who transcend partisanship and courageously advocate for ethical government. Good books help us better understand issues so we are better prepared to do the work of courageous advocacy. MWEG is Faithful. Non-partisan. Peaceful. Proactive. These are books that MWEG readers have found useful.
