Episode 5: What does it Mean to be Mormon?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this podcast, the panel returns to discuss what it means to be Mormon and the Churches role in defining the term. We discuss the Churches efforts to control and define the proper usage of the term and sort out who is a Mormon and who is not, the modern polygamists, trademark and brand protection, the corporate Church, racism, criticism and anti-Mormonism. The panel further explores the role that titles play and those who are cultural and liberal Mormons and what relationship they hold with the Church today.
