Ep340: The Mormon Graveyard: What's Been Put to Rest and Why

Over nearly two centuries, Mormonism has changed in ways both large and small. Doctrines once taught with conviction, policies once defended as divinely inspired, and practices once considered essential have quietly—or sometimes dramatically—been left behind.

In this episode, we explore The Mormon Graveyard, a website that catalogs the beliefs, teachings, policies, terminology, and practices the LDS Church no longer embraces or follows. From polygamy and the racial priesthood and temple ban to changing temple ceremonies, abandoned truth claims, and evolving teachings, we examine what has been “buried” and what those changes tell us about the evolution of Mormonism.

What gets remembered? What gets reinterpreted? And what simply disappears?

Grab your shovel—we’re taking a walk through The Mormon Graveyard with creator Aran.
