Monday, we’re exploring MormonLeaks, an online platform where LDS Church employees and insiders can leak private Church documents. Nothing all that incriminating or even interesting has come out yet. The videos and papers have basically shown the LDS Church to be a byzantine bureaucracy run much like a business. But MormonLeaks founder Ryan McKnight says he’s not looking for scandals, just transparency. We’ll talk about the leaks and what they reveal about Mormonism today.
Guests:
- Ryan McKnight, founder of MormonLeaks
- Nate Carlisle, Justice and Safety Reporter, Salt Lake Tribune. Read his op-ed, Why are LDS Church documents being leaked now? Whistleblower cases offer some clues
- Rick Phillips, Associate Professor, Sociology and Religious Studies, University of North Florida
