Transitions

The Mormon Migration from Religion to Relationship

The Need

Statistics from social science research indicates that perhaps thousands of Latter-day Saints leave the Mormon Church each year. Many of these go on to embrace traditional Christianity. When they do they undergo experiences and challenges much like an immigrant moving from one country to another. Their transition produces emotional stresses, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, as well as doctrinal and worldview reorientation issues. Both those who have made the transition journey themselves, as well as pastors from throughout the Western United States where the Mormon Church is numerically strong, have expressed their desire for a resource that they can use to help with this journey of transition and immigration.

Resource Overview
 
In response to this need Transitions: The Mormon Migration from Religion to Relationship was created. This multimedia resource includes six video sessions on DVD to introduce and discuss key issues, along with a participant workbook. In order to address the main topics this resource is divided into two main sections and six segments:

Section I: Migration – Identity, Relationships & Church Culture

1. Identity – Finding new individual and collective identity


2. Relationships – Friends, loved ones, marriage, and children issues


 3. Church Culture – Sorting out new church culture



Section II. Doctrine and Worldview Issues
 
This section presents traditional Christian doctrine and worldview framed in understandable ways for the transitioner, with an emphasis upon the individual playing a part in the Grand Narrative, God’s story of mission to the whole of the cosmos.

4. “Where did I come from?:” God’s Grand Story

5. “Why am I here?:” The mission of the community of God

6. “Where am I going?:” Life in the new heavens and new earth


Format

Transitions can be used in a variety of settings, from an individual, group of friends or family meeting in a home, to small group meetings in local churches. Each segment includes a video chapter as well as a brief study guide which will assist participants in working through the various issues involved. The guide includes questions for reflection, as well as Bible verses as a means of fully exploring important areas.

The Transitions resource is a six-part DVD and companion workbook. For a further description see the Transitions website at www.LDStransitions.com.
