Site promotion over next couple months

[Anonymous]

We’re going to receive attention via Open Stories Foundation activity over the next 2 months. Just to give you guys a heads up, the very tip of this is starting today with a SL Tribune article combined with a preliminary research findings report about why people leave the church.

Here’s a link to the announcement and preliminary report: http://whymormonsleave.com/2012/01/31/causes-and-costs-of-mormon-faith-crises/

Two new Open Stories sites are coming online: WhyMormonsLeave and FaithTransitions (or LDSFaithTransitions). WML is more research oriented and pointy-headed, also exploring the problems that lead people to question.

I’m in heading up the content on FaithTransitions, which is oriented towards “pastoral care” (for lack of a better word) in helping people navigate a faith crisis with the best tools, and with the least amount of damage and distress possible. We’ve recorded 1 podcast so far with John D., Joanna B and me. FaithTransitions will be neutral about where people end up — helping them leave, stay or somewhere in between. Obviously I will leverage that site to direct “stay-ers” to StayLDS.com resources.

Both of these sites will have links to and make references to StayLDS.com. There will be national news attention on these projects. We should get a bump here in activity.

Thanks for the information, Brian. Interesting stuff how all this Open Stories stuff is moving forward.

I’ll try to stay checked in more often, although next week I’ll be traveling without my laptop, so we’ll see.
