no sheep’s clothing ’round here…

written by Jana March 8, 2007

I’ve had few, if any, regrets about finding a new church home. Quotations like this one from J. Reuben Clark affirm to me that I made the right choice (not, of course, because I look to Clark as my spiritual leader, but because he underscores the fact that by living with integrity (e.g. leaving the fold), rather than continuing to pretend to be Mormon when I don’t believe in the church’s dogma, I am choosing the right):

“Any titular Church member who does not accept the First Vision but who continues to pose as a Church member, lacks not only moral courage but intellectual integrity and honor if [s]he does not avow h[er]self an apostate and discontinue going about the Church, and among the youth particularly, as a Church[wo]man, teaching not only lack-faith, but faith-destroying doctrines. [S]he is a true wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

I like that – where does it come from? I’d be interested in reading it in context.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
