The Southern Utah PostMormon Association has another great lecture lined up first Sunday in February at 2 pm at the Red Lion Hotel, 850 South Bluff Street. We will be welcoming a guest speaker from northern Utah (Lehi):
Joe Rawlins is the ex-Mormon author of The Korihor Argument: A Missionary’s Journey Out of Mormonism. Rawlins grew up in Mesa, AZ as a devout Mormon and confronted his faith in Mormonism and in God while serving as a missionary in Perú.
Now an atheist and humanist, Rawlins writes and lectures on finding self-driven purpose, leaving religion and creating enduring inter-faith families. He has committed to donate a portion of the sale of each copy of The Korihor Argument to help children of Peru, where he served as a Mormon missionary in 1999-2001.
Joe has so many topics that sound interesting it was hard to decide what he should prepare for our group, so we left it up to him.
Joe is famous for secretly recording his own excommunication proceedings:
