WaPo - The Rise of the Liberal Latter-day Saints and Bottom-Up Revelation

"Bottom-up Revelation?"

In this Washington Post Magazine article, the author creates a narrative that depicts a conflict between "bottom-up" revelation and "top-down" revelation. The article, while well written, assumes that the Church should react to the people's desire for change. Those interviewed expect that the Doctrine of the Family and temple marriage will change and it depicts "liberal" members of the Church desiring change from the Church leaders due to the desires of the members.
