Exmormon Foundation

Exmormon Foundation

The Exmormon Foundation is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization that provides support to those who are transitioning out of affiliation with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. [ [http://exmormonfoundation.org/ The Exmormon Foundation | Life After Mormonism ] ] It was founded by Richard Packham, who left the LDS Church after concluding from his personal research that he did not believe its teachings. [ [http://home.teleport.com/~packham/ Richard Packham's Home Page ] ]

The foundation holds an annual Exmormon Foundation Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah in October, the same month in which the LDS Church holds one of its semi-annual general conferences. [ [http://exmormonfoundation.org/2007Conference Exmormon Foundation 2007 Conference | The Exmormon Foundation ] ] The annual Exmormon Foundation Conference features talks by exmormons from all walks of life. Notable figures such as Canadian pop-musician Tal Bachman and scholar of Mormonism Brent Lee Metcalfe have spoken there.

The Exmormon Foundation is informally associated with the Recovery from Mormonism website, which hosts a discussion board where Exmormons, unbelieving Mormons, and doubters post their complaints, criticisms, and other personal reactions to their experience with the LDS Church. The Recovery from Mormonism website also includes a catalog of short auto-biographies where Exmormons describe their loss of faith in Mormonism. [ [http://exmormon.org/ Recovery from Mormonism - the Mormon Church ] ] Mormon scholars like Daniel C. Peterson have been known to post on the Recovery from Mormonism discussion board in defense of their religion.
