Heaven's Helpline

What a job it is to make a community like Mormonism accessible and understandable to a wider audience. And Mr Jones has achieved that unenviable task with sensitivity and balance. The only people upset by this are people who think anyone not saying exactly what the Church would like them to say are somehow “anti-Mormon”. Those people, on listening to this podcast, should ask themselves: Is my commitment to maintaining the Church’s public image the very same thing that prevents reporting of abuse, and puts children at risk? This podcast will have many members of the LDS community asking themselves difficult questions, and as it should. Hopefully, the result will be a new found intolerance amongst the members towards the church’s reputation-and-liability-first approach to the abuse of Children by its members.

I saw this podcast in the i newspaper and I’m glad I did! Really good journalism and extremely well told.
