Episode Description from the Publisher

It's General Conference time again; that semi-annual Latter-day Saint tradition where we gather ‘round to listen to the prophet--and gorge ourselves on pastries. In this episode, we discuss the themes and talks that stood out to us. We’re talkin’ changes to the Sunday schedule, Elder Gilbert’s early efforts to cleanse BYU faculty, why people are really leaving the Church, the “Protestization” of Church rhetoric, Resurrection-for-all, and whether “fairness for all” includes due process for immigrants. All while facing down one of the most vexing theological challenges of all time, the Problem of Evil. About the hosts:Brad, a PhD bioethicist and medical school professor and Calli, a PhD candidate in bioethics and genetics data analyst, explore the world of bioethics through the lens of LDS theology and faith. As life-long active members of the LDS Church, and some of the few bioethicists that are part of the faith, they hope to bridge the unique teachings and doctrines of the LDS Church with some of the most controversial topics of our time. The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the presenters and do not represent the views of their employers or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  Music: Alan Hawkshaw    / alan hawkshaw - topic
