'So there was my dad, a bishop,' writes Kay Barrell. 'Did I mention that what my father knew of theology could fit in a thimble?'
The sun rises on the temple of the LDS Church on the first day of General Conference in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019.I’ve never talked too much about why I left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but the recent leadI was born and raised in the church. My father was a bishop. I had always, from a very young age, been bothered by the lack of knowledge of the presiding leaders. All prayers were dry and predictable. All sermons were lacking in knowledge or style.
But back to my disdain for amateurs, or as the church calls them “lay leaders.” These bishops, as the church calls them have the power of life or death over teen aged children, be it regarding mission qualifications or allegations of rape from a 17-year-old girl at Brigham Young University.
