| + | |claim=The author quotes the introduction to the "September Six" Wikipedia article: "The September Six were six members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who were excommunicated or disfellowshipped by the LDS in September 1993, allegedly for publishing scholarly work on Mormonism or critiquing Church doctrine or leadership." He then notes that "Boyd K. Packer made the following comment regarding the three “enemies” of the Church: 'The dangers I speak of come from the gay-lesbian movement, the feminist movement (both of which are relatively new), and the ever-present challenge from the so-called scholars or intellectuals.'" | ||

| + | *The excommunication of the "September Six" occurred almost 20 years ago. The "September Six" is comprised of the following individuals. Of the six, two have rejoined the church and one still attends LDS services: | ||
| + | **Lavina Fielding Anderson (excommunicated—Still attends Church services) | ||
| + | **Avraham Gileadi (excommunicated—now back in full fellowship) | ||
| + | **Maxine Hanks (excommunicated—now back in full fellowship as of 2012) | ||
| + | **D. Michael Quinn (excommunicated) | ||
| + | **Paul Toscano (excommunicated) | ||
| + | **Lynne Kanavel Whitesides (disfellowshipped) | ||
| + | *The author speculates that the church discipline occurred because these individuals shared "questions, concerns, and doubts," however, the Church does not release any records indicating the reason that someone was disciplined. In this case, D. Michael Quinn claimed that it was because of his scholarly work, and blamed Boyd K. Packer for his excommunication. | ||
