1/ A couple weeks ago I announced my participation in the new podcast “Mormon News Weekly” with @johndehlin and @janariess. Today I’m announcing that I’m stepping away from the show. 2/ When I posted my tweet about the show, I honestly expected a moderate response. I conceived of the project as being a modest affair--3 people sitting around and talking about the news. While of course we sought listeners, our intention was never to create a lot of drama.

I've appreciated the many good, thoughtful takes on the Wilcox fiasco. It shows there is so much more work to do, that not all is well in Zion. I have lots of thoughts, but I'm especially reminded of this obscure parable by Jesus: "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
