The Sunstone 2023 Summer Symposium is coming right up! It will be held July 27-29 at the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy, Utah. On Saturday, July 29, at 9 AM, come see me (Katie Ludlow Rich), Nancy Ross, Heather Sundahl, and Jeanine Bean talk about Exponent II: Past and Present. You can register for the conference here.

One event I’m excited about is this year’s Smith-Pettit Lecture by Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez. She is a professor of history and gender studies at Calvin University and is the New York Times best-selling author of the brilliant book Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. The lecture will be Thursday, July 27 from 7-8:30 PM and is free and open to the public with no registration required.

The Sunstone Summer Symposium is a fascinating way to meet many kinds of Mormons, with people from many branches of the restoration tradition. Check out the schedule here to see the lineup of speakers. I hope to see you there!
