Independent Mormon Exchange · Volume VII
MormonX is a twice-yearly gathering of thinkers, writers, builders, and communities working within the Restoration tradition — and from beyond it. We read the published works of Joseph Smith as our common ground, and we read them together, without an institution standing in between.
What we are
For two centuries, the Restoration has been larger than any one church that has tried to contain it. MormonX is a space for people who take the tradition seriously and refuse to take any single institution as the whole of it.
We host twice a year — once in autumn and once in spring — for three days of long-form talks, working sessions, primary-source study, and the small conversations between them.
“Unifying the greater Mormon community through sharing perspectives and open discussion.”
The Autumn Gathering · MormonX VII
Three days of long-form conversation, primary-source study, and community formation — drawn together by what we share in common and curious about what we don't.

Participate
MormonX is small on purpose. Attend, propose a talk, run a working session, or bring your group’s project to the community gallery. Everyone who comes is expected to bring something — even if that something is only their attention.
