In June of 2012 I interviewed Tom Phillips, former LDS church stake president in London, England U.K. \\xa0In this interview he discusses the following:
\\nAt the time I conducted this interview I was in deep discussions with my stake president, Mark Jensen, over my status with the church, and my ability to baptize my son. \\xa0Out of fear of church discipline, and as a sign\\xa0of good will to President Jensen, I decided to not release this episode via Mormon Stories podcast, and instead\\xa0granted permission to\\xa0Tom to do with it as he saw fit.
\\nOver the subsequent months and years I have come to regret this decision made largely out of fear, and want to publicly apologize to Tom for it. \\xa0I now feel it is appropriate to release this interview, not because I seek to show disrespect for the LDS church or its temple ordinances, but because Tom\'s story\\xa0a very poignant example of the pain and suffering that can come about as many LDS members continue to experience legitimate struggles with the LDS church\'s truth claims.
\\nSince this interview openly discusses secret/sacred LDS temple ordinances, listener discretion is strongly advised.
