One of the highlights of late summer for Scot and me is to attend the annual FairMormon Conference, where in three days, speakers present faithful answers to criticisms of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The speakers are insightful, thorough, and inspiring, exploring a range of topics from history, theology and science you may not hear anywhere else. Frankly, we wouldn’t miss it.

This year’s conference is this week Aug. 7-9, at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo, Utah and information on the conference can be found here. https://www.fairmormon.org/conference/august-2019
