Hello everyone and welcome to another additional Mormon stories podcast. Today we're going to be covering Mormon Bishop from Tennessee and his confrontation with a state president.

For those of you don't know what a state president is in the Mormon

context, awards or congregations are led by bishops instead of priests or pastors.

And then a leader over, let's just say 8 to 10 Mormon congregations, is called a state president.

So it's a relatively high regional level leader in the Mormon Church.

And today we're going to be talking about a Mormon

Bishop from Tennessee and his surprising confrontation

with his state president.

And joining us for today's episode is Nathan

Hinckley. Hey Nathan Bishop Hinckley I should say. Hey John how are you? Good

thanks for joining us. My pleasure. Really quickly before before we begin, I just want to let people know.

One of the reasons we're doing this episode is because Margie and I are coming to Tennessee

next weekend.

The actual dates of that are, I mean mean it's basically May 25th and one of the reasons we you know one of the things we love to do is help create community for

Progressive and post Mormons that need friends or support.

So I rushed to do this episode when I learned about Nathan or Bishop Hinckley because

if you live in or near Nashville, Tennessee or the surrounding states, and you're looking for

friends and community. We are doing a meet-up, and we just want to help you find all the support

you need in your faith transitions or

faith crisis. So in the description of YouTube or Facebook you'll find a link

to the Mormon stories Nashville Meetup.

And there's going to be events May 24th, all the way through May 26th.
