The End of MormonCulture.org

We've decided to shift our approach. Here is why:


  1. We didn't like the title "Mormon Culture". It felt too topically restrictive, too bland, and too presumptuous - who are we to prop ourselves up as authorities on Mormon Culture?

  2. A revised operational plan was needed. The unpublished but agreed-upon criteria for publishing among the writers was far too restrictive. The Mormon Anomaly has loosened this and set up a better structure for publishing.

  3. The idea of established, canonized Mormon "Doctrine" is problematic. What is doctrine? Often the answer to this question is impossible. Thus, framing the approach of this site in the context of that doctrine proved a challenge. Too much of a challenge.

  4. Our objectives have shifted. Head on over to The Mormon Anomaly to see how.


We will keep the content here for another year or so. Articles in line with our new objectives have been moved to The Mormon Anomaly. If you want a copy of something that hasn't been transferred, let me know and I'll send you a pdf.

So. Please join us at The Mormon Anomaly.
