Peace can be elusive to those who find themselves undergoing a crisis of faith. Particularly for those who have become disaffected from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, navigating the long and winding road can be a lonely journey.
This is a place intended to give people who are going through a crisis of faith a place to express themselves through creative writing. You may simply come away feeling like there are others who get it, who understand where you have been.
Those who have walked the same path share a common bond, understood by few who have not traveled the same road.

Disaffected souls are often in different places on their journey. This site is a place to find understanding and peace. It is natural to feel anger, hurt, disappointment, and many other emotions. it is also perfectly natural to express those emotions. Please refrain, however, from using inflammatory or hateful speech in your posts and comments. This is not the place to call people out who are at a different place than you are. Respect rules the day here.
Thank you, peace be with you...

who we are
Welcome to The Peacewriter.
We all want to belong somewhere, to someone. It is a basic human need.
If you have ever experienced a period of doubt or questioned your beliefs in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you know that this is not a minor thing. It is tantamount to a crisis, and one that can be life altering.
Lose your testimony, and you stand to lose everything that matters.
There are those who exist on the fringes of the Church, who feel disenfranchised, even unwanted. If you are single, gay or lesbian, feminist, atheist, or uncorrelated, it can be tough to feel like a part of the community. You may feel that you do not belong.
You belong here.
If you have ever loved someone who endured a faith crisis, you know that there are a lot of gray areas. Uncertainty is the dominant force; black and white become moot points.
Those who have walked the same path share a common bond, understood by few who have not traveled the same road.This is the place to share common experiences, to find a voice, to be heard. This is the place to seek after peace, and to find it in the common ties we share.
This is The Peacewriter.
