Calm of Utah County Post-Mormons

CHAPTER INTRODUCTION

Community After Leaving Mormonism- CALM in Utah County is for those who have left, are in transition, or are questioning Mormonism.

 

Thousands resign from the LDS church every year, while many more no longer believe. We are also here for those who have never been LDS and would like to meet other non-believers.

May 9, Fri, 7:00 pm- New Play Project Reading of a new play by Melissa Leilani Larson in the Bullock Room of the Provo Library. This new play, LITTLE HAPPY SECRETS, is the story of a young woman coming to terms with her same-sex attraction without compromising her LDS faith.           Admission to the reading is free, but contributions are welcome (tax deduction receipts are available).  For those who contribute $10 or more, they are offering a choice of gifts: 1) a professionally laid-out copy of the script; or 2) a ticket voucher good for a single admission to any New Play Project production from now through spring 2009.  While there is nothing objectionable in this play, they ask to not bring children under the age of 13. www.newplayproject.org

 

May 10, Sat, 11:30 am- Pangea Day at Park City’s Eccles Center, features free films. Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film. In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common.

 

At 6 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time, viewers in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and Park City will all discover the same stories, the same art, the same inspiration via live satellite through film, music and exceptional speakers.

 

Chosen from 2,500 submissions, the 24 Pangea Day films were selected based on their ability "to inspire, transform and allow us to see the world through another person's eyes." In addition to these images and documented tales, participants will hear from visionary speakers and musicians including: Queen Noor of Jordan, CNN's Christiane Amanpour, musician/activist Bob Geldof and Iranian rock phenomenon Hypernova.
