Can we re-baptize Michael Quinn?
I heard that he refuses to deny God's existence and the Restoration. I know he's a homosexual, but I'm sure his bishop can work something out where he can still go to church.
If Bushman can say JS was a product of his environment, why can't Quinn? |

He is "faithful" in many respects and besides Bushman, one of the better professional historians for LDS issues. |
Obviously I wasn't in the room when the call was made, but as I understand it, it wasn't just homosexuality that was the issue. I recall he was excommunicated for apostasy.
On what specifically? No idea. |

Told his story to the SL Trib last week.
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/56...hurch.html.csp I thought the turning point was his campaigning to be an apostle, considering himself as one of the twelve chosen ones. Also couldn't fathom the idea of the brethren having a deeper understanding of science than someone as educated as himself. |
there's no reason to even think about it. He himself says he doesn't want to be a member.
I've not read anything he has written, but a friend who has and whose opinion I respect says that Quinn started to strain credulity with some of his conclusions to fit what seemed to be a preconceived agenda. |
