The Gift

The Gift
This is for you, he said with a grin
Sliding the package toward me.

But the look in his eyes tugged at my heart.

Our Family

In 1995, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a directive titled, “The Family: A Proclamation to the World”. This is our response.

Love, Your Daughter

Dear God,

I’m not even sure you are there. Or what is out there. You used to fill up all of the unknown and scary spaces, past where the light stopped shining. Looking out the window on a dark night, I was unafraid of what was out there because I knew you were there.

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.
