What happens when the LDS church wants to build a temple in your town? In this episode of Mormonish, Rebecca and Landon dig into the ongoing Cody, WY temple situation to uncover the tactics the church is using to manipulate the outcome. The new temple is slated to be built in a neighborhood not zoned for this type of structure. With concerns over traffic, dark skies, height requirements, and more, a group of citizens have formed “Preserve Our Cody Neighborhoods” to try to relocate the temple to a more appropriate site. The fight is heating up and emotions are high as the church filed two lawsuits and threatened to bankrupt the city with legal action. We discuss the situation with Cody resident Yvonne Chandler who gives us the inside scoop into this currently unfolding story. We appreciate our Mormonish viewers and listeners so much!

Alyssa Grenfell: She Wrote The Book On How To Leave The Mormon Church

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon sit down with anthropologist Jason Palmer to discuss LDS temple building in Peru. Many of the same elements of the LDS church's playbook used in the United States to push a temple through city government in an area it is not zoned for, seem to be used on the international stage too,. Jason is the author of the "Forever Familias: Race, Gender, and Indigeneity in Peruvian Mormonism," and shares his expertise with us as we shine a spotlight on two Peruvian LDS temples and the intricate process of governmental approval required to get them built. You might be pretty surprised by this conversation. ***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast:  If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here:  https://www.mormonishpodcast.org/support  Also at: PayPal: https://paypal.me/BiblioTechMedia?cou...

LDS International Temple Building: The Same Controversial Playbook?

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by David Morris to dive into the history of the LDS church’s For The Strength of Youth Pamphlet. Since the mid-1960s, this pamphlet has been given to young people in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints to guide their behavior and make sure they understand the dos and don’ts of growing up in the LDS church.  David has compiled visuals from these pamphlets, posters, pictures and more, throughout the decades to present us with a clear idea of what the purity culture themes were and how they have changed today. We know you’ll find this episode nostalgic as we take you back through the pamphlets of your youth. ***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast: If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here: https://www.mormonishpodcast.org/support Also at: PayPal: https://paypal.me/BiblioTechMedia?cou...
