MHH66: Sunstone Event Spotlights

This week I have three Sunstone interviews for you! First, John Hamer and I discuss his involvement in the Community of Christ, which used to be the RLDS church. Next, David Dixon, who is a foundational member of the Phoenix area ExMormon groups, discusses his own physical and mental recovery from Mormonism, and Kent Belliston tells a few fascinating stories of his experience working in the Church Office Building in SLC in the 90s. I hope you love these stories as much as I did! Sunstone is so fun! I’d love to meet you at Sunstone this summer, July 30th to August 3rd. If you’ve never attended, it is a fabulous experience, often called MormonCon. All the scholars, names, and personalities you’ve heard of come to share their unique and amazing work and ideas. Hope I see you there! As always, head on over to Patreon/Mormon Happy Hour to watch the full-length videos of these interviews.
