Could an Australian Anti Discrimination Bill End LDS Worthiness Requirements?

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Australian barrister Neville Rochow as we explore a new anti discrimination bill in Queensland Australia that the LDS believes could negatively impact their ability to control who can and can’t enter the Brisbane temple.

But is this really the case? The LDS church is rallying members to send emails and reach out to elected officials expressing concern. The bill could also impact the LDS church’s power to insist that church employees have temple recommends.

Neville helps us cut through the misinformation surrounding the proposed bill as we discuss the possible ramifications and realities.
