	Dan Wotherspoon

In 2001, the Sunstone editorship passed to Dan Wotherspoon, who has been a frequent contributor at Sunstone symposiums since 1993.

Dan holds a Ph.D. in Religion (Philosophy of Religion and Theology emphasis) from Claremont Graduate University (1996), where he wrote his dissertation on resources within the teachings of Joseph Smith for the postmodern world; a master’s degree in Religious Studies from Arizona State University (1990), where he studied world religions and wrote his thesis on theories of ritual empowerment; and a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from Brigham Young University (1987), where he also minored in classical civilizations.

Before taking over the Sunstone helm, Dan taught philosophy and ethics at Salt Lake Community College and Utah Valley State College, and he has also worked as a used and rare book buyer at Benchmark Books in Salt Lake City, been a manager at a homeless shelter, and managed two restaurants. Following his service as a full-time missionary in the Washington Seattle Mission (1983-84), Dan taught senior couple and senior sister missionaries for two and a half years at the Provo Missionary Training Center.

Dan met his wife Lorri (Hubbard) while she was also serving in the same mission, but they didn’t really get to know each other until they were asked to be co-planners for the Seattle mission reunions. They started dating shortly after their first planning meeting and married three weeks before the first reunion they put together. That was eighteen years ago. They are the parents of two children, Alex (age 16) and Hope (age 10), and they live in Tooele, Utah.

Since arriving at Sunstone, Dan has come to be well known in Mormon intellectual circles for his outgoing, friendly manner and positive approach in trying to break down the suspicions and barriers that inhibit healthy exchanges of ideas between Latter-day Saints who strive to be fully engaged as both scholars and persons of faith.
