In depth, not radical. There is so much throw away stuff in Ensign.

You are part of Mormon culture but only part of the outskirts now of the outlying area. I am certainly a suburbanite, but I appreciate the inner city as well. It is an interesting review of perspectives and SIEQ states the second piece about the sociological affects are even better.

In any case, comparing a single paragraph of Beck's to an entire full-length Sunstone article and then complaining about "depth" is pretty disingenuous.

I'm not concerned that the Ensign is fluff, if it is in fact that.
I'm more concerned about whether the church tries to excommunicate people who run Dialogue and Sunstone, merely for having an open conversation, if that is what Sunstone and Dialogue are doing. Last edited by MikeWaters; 02-12-2009 at 07:15 PM. |

I've never been close enough to any of the authors or editors to know. Some here have and they would be qualified to discuss that.

You think "adult member" is the only criteria they have in mind when they publish?

And in their opinion it is most needed for the new and rank and file members, who need a story here or there to bolster their faith so that they can feel good and continue serving in the Church. They probably don't see a big need to target analytical lawyers or scholars who pick apart historical aspects a a form of sport. But their approach has pitfalls as well. My belief is that there is enough interest to support something for those of us who want more than just milk. They refuse to discuss the meat and potatoes.
