John P. Dehlin /dəˈlɪn/ is the founder of the Mormon Stories Podcast, and was an influential early participant in the Mormon blogging scene (sometimes referred to as the bloggernacle) who has specialized in addressing concerns of those with crises of faith. Dehlin is an LGBT rights activist. A graduate student of clinical and counseling psychology at Utah State University, Dehlin's research interests involve the nexus of religion and mental health. Dehlin has published peer reviewed journal articles on the topics of scrupulosity in obsessive–compulsive disorder, trichotillomania, and has co-authored several articles on the LDS treatment of LGBT members. Dehlin is also the creator of several Mormon-themed podcasts, blogs and web sites. Dehlin worked for several years in various positions at Microsoft, and served for a few years as the Director of the OpenCourseWare Consortium for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In February 2015, a disciplinary council of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) was held, with Dehlin being excommunicated from the church. A letter sent to Dehlin by church authorities cited instances in which Dehlin publicly renounced his belief in core Mormon doctrine, such as stating that the Book of Mormon was a fraud, that the LDS Church was not the true church and that it did not receive authority from God. In a public statement the church also noted Dehlin's rejection of the divinity of Jesus Christ as a factor in his excommunication.

In previous disciplinary councils, Dehlin received no sanction. (Hearings can result in probation, disfellowship or excommunication.) Spokespersons at LDS Church headquarters generally decline comment on such action citing confidentiality and that they remain under the purview of local-level (in this case, North Logan, Utah) LDS leaders. However, after Dehlin's discussion of the disciplinary proceedings, the LDS Church released a statement regarding the interactions of the council with Dehlin.

Early life and education

Dehlin was born in Boise, Idaho, and raised in Katy, Texas. As a member of the LDS Church, he served as a missionary in Guatemala in the late 1980s. He then attended Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, where he graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in political science in 1993.

After graduation, Dehlin worked for five years in software and as a consultant for Bain & Company, Arthur Andersen, Citicorp, Heidrick & Struggles, and the LDS Church. He then worked at Microsoft for seven years in programs for developers, marketing, speech technologies, and product demos.

Dehlin's brother, Joel Dehlin, also worked at Microsoft, and became the chief information officer of the LDS Church in 2004.

In 2004, Dehlin moved to Logan, Utah to begin work under David A. Wiley at Utah State University (USU) on OpenCourseWare-related projects. Dehlin would serve as USU's OpenCourseWare Consortium Coordinator and Director of Outreach for the Center for Open and Sustainable Learning Director of Outreach for two years, where he promoted OpenCourseWare to other universities. While at USU, Dehlin also completed a Master of Science degree in Instructional Technology in 2007. In January 2007, MIT hired Dehlin as the Director of the OpenCourseWare Consortium.

Dehlin is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical and Counseling Psychology at USU.

Sunstone

Finding limited internet presence for constructive Mormon intellectual sources, Dehlin approached the Sunstone Education Foundation and presented to its Board of Directors about the importance of participating in developing internet communities through blogging and podcasting. The Board accepted his offer to initiate these programs and, in September 2005, Dehlin joined the Board of Directors and began a Sunstone podcast as well as SunstoneBlog. In July 2007, he also became executive director of the Sunstone Education Foundation, in which he was to focus on strategic initiatives to strengthen Sunstone's position as an open forum for Mormon issues. In that role, he tried to increase the organizational focus on its longstanding motto, "faith seeking understanding", and to attract new and younger membership. Dehlin resigned from Sunstone in January 2008.

Mormon Stories

Main article: Mormon Stories Podcast

In September 2005, after finding reasons to stay a member of the LDS Church, Dehlin created the Mormon Stories podcast as an open discussion of Mormon issues with the intention of giving listeners reasons to remain in the church. Through interviews, Mormon Stories focused on varying Mormon experiences and perspectives. Several notable Mormon figures were guests on Mormon Stories. To date, listenership at times exceeds 25,000 downloads per episode. Mormon Stories has been featured in many venues, including being broadcast on KVNU in Logan, Utah. In June 2007, Dehlin was quoted for stories by The New York Times and Good Morning America, discussing Mitt Romney and Mormonism.

At times personally conflicted about continuing Mormon Stories, Dehlin stopped and restarted the project a few times. In January 2010 Dehlin resumed the blog and podcast, focusing on faith crises, mental illnesses, and notable guests, beginning with interviews of Joanna Brooks and John Hamer. Two other regular hosts joined Dehlin in conducting interviews for the podcast: Dan Wotherspoon, former editor of Sunstone magazine; and Natasha Helfer Parker, a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist.

Other blogs

In June 2007, Dehlin started Mormon Matters as a blog and weekly podcast, with the intention of eventually becoming a radio show. The format was a discussion panel on events, culture, politics and spirituality within Mormonism. Panelists were to represent different sides of each issue, although the show later struggled to retain regular conservative LDS panelists. In early 2008, Dehlin converted Mormon Matters into a group blog and lessened emphasis on new podcast episodes,. Dehlin resumed the Mormon Matters podcast on March 5, 2011 with Dan Wotherspoon as the host, and Joanna Brooks as a frequent co-host.

Dehlin is also the co-founder of the Mormons for Marriage website (a pro-gay marriage site) and Stay LDS, a community dedicated to helping unorthodox Mormons stay in the LDS Church, if that is their desire.

Crises of faith

As an LDS missionary in Guatemala from 1988 to 1990, Dehlin's mission began baptizing up to 700 converts per month. To accomplish this, Dehlin claims many missionaries were using deceptive methods which were allegedly taught and supported by some mission leaders. Dehlin was disturbed and reported these activities to his mission president, who did not share Dehlin's concern and sent him home early (normally a disciplinary action). After reporting on this to an apostle, Dallin H. Oaks, and completing his two-year missionary term in the Arizona Tempe Mission, Dehlin remained an active, faithful member of the LDS Church for the next 20 years, but began to study church administration, history, doctrine and theology more in depth.

While living in the Seattle area, Dehlin was called to be an early-morning LDS Seminary teacher. In preparation for the next year's class, he began studying LDS Church history in greater depth which led to his discovery of several controversial issues such as Joseph Smith's practice of polyandry, DNA and archeological issues with the Book of Mormon, and others. With shaken faith, he did not find many informed or sympathetic local church members and therefore contemplated leaving the church. On the Internet he found communities antagonistic toward the LDS Church which also did not encourage him to stay. Eventually, Dehlin discovered publications such as Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought and Sunstone Magazine, which acknowledged the controversies but provided thoughtful responses and solutions to the problems. These resources helped Dehlin decide to stay in the church for several years after his initial discoveries.

In 2011, Dehlin reported going "inactive" from the LDS Church for a period of months, citing an inability to believe some of the church's fundamental truth claims. After being exonerated from a series of investigations into his Internet activities (led by his LDS bishop and stake president), Dehlin returned to the LDS Church as an active member. Beginning in 2012, Dehlin met weekly with his stake president for over a year to discuss his worthiness. His stake president advised Dehlin that he was permitted to baptize and confirm his son. However, there was a change in local leadership, the newly assigned bishop advised Dehlin of his intent to investigate his so-called apostasy, and in February 2014 Dehlin wrote an email to his new bishop requesting no more ecclesiastical contact from church leaders or those on their errand, while welcoming contact that was not church-sanctioned. He described his motive as, "After reporting this experience to my wife, we agreed that we did not want our family to go through this ward-level investigatory process yet again: that it felt like intimidation and harassment to us." In his email to his new bishop, he said that he and his wife would attend the ward when their children did, but "otherwise would like you to please no longer consider Margi and myself as members of the ward."

Church discipline

On June 7, 2014, Dehlin was asked if he preferred to resign from the LDS Church or face a disciplinary council for apostasy, potentially resulting in excommunication. A letter sent to Dehlin from his local stake president referenced an Internet posting in which Dehlin wrote that he no longer believes many fundamental “truth claims” the church makes. The next day, a disciplinary hearing was scheduled for another member-critic, Kate Kelly, a human rights lawyer who founded the Ordain Women movement. The successive disciplinary actions against prominent critics appeared reminiscent of actions taken in 1993 against the September Six.

In early 2015, Dehlin's stake president asked Dehlin to appear at a disciplinary council to address various allegations including apostasy (Mormon parlance for "heresy"), his support of same-sex marriage and the ordination of women, and for his engaging others in questions about church teachings. On February 10, 2015, Dehlin received notice that he had been excommunicated. In a press release, stated by the LDS Church as being used "to correct the public record", the church denied that Dehlin was excommunicated for his views on same-sex marriage, ordination of women, or questioning the faith. The church stated that Dehlin was instead excommunicated for stating the Book of Mormon was fraudulent, statements that reject the church's assertion as the true church, and "openly and publicly trying to convince others that Church teachings are in error."

On March 10, 2015, Dehlin appealed his excommunication to the First Presidency, claiming the action was a "flawed and unfair process."
