Congratulations to X-Mormon of the Year 2016: Jeremy Runnells!!

chanson, January 12, 2017March 8, 2026

jeremy Jeremy Runnells is the author of the famous CES Letter — a clear, readable overview of the major critical issues with the CoJCoL-dS. In early 2016, Jeremy was called in for a disciplinary hearing, but when the church leaders refused to answer any of his questions, he presented his resignation and “excommunicated the church.”

Congratulations Jeremy for making the biggest X-Mormon splash in 2016!!

Note: The Brodies nominations are still open until Thursday, January 19, 2017. To see the results of the X-Mormon of the Year voting, the poll is here.

    Couldn’t go to a more deserving person. The Age of Enlightenment is still ongoing thanks to brave, smart people like Jeremy.

    Reason, logic, and questioning-to-know have always led to good things for humans, but it takes a lot of courage. Congratulations, Jeremy!
