excommunication of John Dehlin
John Dehlin is the host of the popular Mormon Stories Podcast. He's a polarizing figure in the church and even among those who have left. He's been podcasting since 2005 and still going strong! In January 2015, John Dehlin's stake president determined Dehlin's online activity constituted apostasy and he was excommunicated through a disciplinary council for "conduct contrary to the laws and order of the church." John made an unsuccessful appeal to the First Presidency. Many struggled as John was dismissed for talking about doubts and discussing issues with the church in a podcast.
