Mormon Apologia

We are a collection of Latter-day Saint Christians who have taken up the call to engage in the ongoing conversation about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We volunteer our time to research, discuss, and publish material pertaining to the defense of the doctrines and teachings, publish articles that relate to current studies in Sunday School, Priesthood/Relief Society, and other LDS related material.

Mormon Apologia's purpose offers thoughtful , fair and objective articles to both Members and investigators of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These articles range from daily devotional's, current Sunday school curriculum for 14-18 and adults, inspirational articles that encourage a deeper and more meaningful life; as well as give an objective and proper view of Church history, doctrine, and current teaching.

The content of the articles posted here are of the respective opinions and understandings of the contributors and do not in any way reflect official doctrine or teaching of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
