Mormon Stories listeners, I have five very important announcements that I'd like to make to you, my listeners, and I'll try to make it brief.

Number one, I am planning on holding some workshops and a reception at the Sunstone Symposium on August 4th and 5th.

Here are the details.

For the workshop, I'm planning on hosting a two-part workshop.

In the morning, the topic will be how to navigate an LDS crisis of fate.

For anyone who is struggling in their faith, or who knows someone who is struggling in their faith,

the goal won't be to keep you in the church or to get you out of the church,

but will be to help you navigate the waters of dealing with the crisis of fate.

The second part in the afternoon will be four couples, and it will be dealing with what to do in a marriage when one of the partners in a marriage loses their testimony.

Here's what I need to know from you.

Are any of you interested in attending a symposium or a workshop like this in Salt Lake on August 4th?

If you are, please let me know.

The cost will be $25 for a single session and $40 for the full session.

I am also planning on going out to dinner that night with folks after the workshop, so it could be a really fun way to meet some of you

and to see if we can help each other figure out how to navigate Mormonism.

So if any of you are interested in either of these workshops or know someone who might be, please email me at MormonStories at gmail.com.

Also, I am exploring the option of hosting a Mormon Stories listener reception on August 5th on Thursday evening, again in conjunction with the Sunstone Symposium.

So if any of you are interested in spending an hour or two with me, along with maybe some former interviewees and some fellow Mormon Stories listeners, please let me know via email at MormonStories at gmail.com.

I am only going to hold the workshops and the reception if there is enough interest.

Point number two, I have started a private internet forum for listeners to Mormon Stories and the formula is pretty straightforward.

This is a private internet forum. You can only join the forum by invitation only if I let you join.

Everyone in the forum uses their real name, although there is an exception to that.
