In 2006, Clifton Jolley was invited to respond to a SUNSTONE presentation by Los Angeles Times religion editor William Lobdell. In Lobdell’s subsequent book, Losing My Religion (2009, HarperCollins), a significant part of the concluding chapter is devoted to describing the effect of Jolley’s remarks on Lobdell, and to the confusion those remarks still cause the one-time believer. Jolley will discuss the failure of Lobdell’s faith and respond to the questions—both stated and implied—that the book asks not only of Dr. Jolley, but of all Mormons.
