− | *{{Speculation}}The author speculates that the church discipline occurred because these individuals shared "questions, concerns, and doubts," however, the Church does not release any information indicating the reason why someone was disciplined. D. Michael Quinn claimed that it was because of his scholarly work, and blamed Boyd K.

D. Michael Quinn claimed that it was because of his scholarly work, and blamed Boyd K. Packer for his excommunication. However, Lavina Fielding Anderson's [[Church_discipline/Scholars/D._Michael_Quinn|account of Quinn's discipline]] makes it clear that there were other issues of concern that have nothing to do with history--as a letter sent to Quinn by his stake president indicated. Regardless, Quinn has continued to insist that his discipline was only because of his history work, despite evidence to the contrary. |
