Finding Mormon freethinkers was not an easy thing to do until I began reading Sunstone magazine, the bad boy of the Mormon world.I had barely heard of the publication (which publishes between four and six times a year) until traveling to Salt Lake City in 2006. There, someone handed me a copy of Sunstone, named after a sun image on a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) temple in Nauvoo, Ill.Sunstone's tongue-in-cheek essays range from blacks and the Mormon priesthood, Mormons and first-time sex (titled \"When Virgins Collide\"), reviews of a new film about Joseph Smith, and divorce, spouse abuse and child abuse in the church. I'd call it the Christianity Today of the Mormon world.
