Description

Must religion be irrational? Must it always demand that one believe
in the supernatural? Must religion always center on self-sacrifice,
on turning off one's mind and "just believing?" Must religion always
be obsessed with somebody's idea of sin; with repenting so that one
doesn't "go to Hell?"

To all of the above, Reform Mormonism answers, "No."

Reform Mormonism has its roots in the teachings of Joseph Smith - the First Mormon. The theological basis is founded upon the unique teachings found in Joseph Smith's final sermon in Nauvoo which reshaped the theological foundations of Mormonism.

At the time of his death, Joseph Smith was engaged in what he called "a... reformation" of Mormonism, and his teachings had become more progressive and universalistic. Following Joseph's example and continuing his unfinished reformation, Reform Mormons are non-creedal and embrace progressivism and universalism.

Unlike most organizations based on Joseph's teachings, Reform Mormonism is a home-based spiritual path. Reform Mormons focus on the processes of self-actualization and Eternal Progression, seeking to become more like our Heavenly Father and Mother.

Reform Mormonism has its own version of traditional Mormon ordinances such as Endowments, Washings, Anointings and Sealings. Reform Mormons are not fundamentalists or literalists in their approach to religion, but view all scripture and ordinances as artistic and symbolic endeavors, meant to inspire and assist individuals in their Eternal Progression.

Reform Mormons support the civil rights of all people and do not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, creed, or sexual orientation. They separate religion from politics.
This Yahoo Discussion Group is a forum for Reform Mormons and those with an interest in Reform Mormonism to discuss the principles and practices of the faith.
