[edit]BYU web site {http://mormonlit.byu.edu/lit_author.php?a_id=444 } lists Sillitoe as a significant "Mormon" poet. But, assertion that she was LDS was removed and labeled "false". Sources please. WBardwin (talk) 23:54, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- I agree we need a better source for this, since it is possible she wasn't a Mormon but was intimately involved with the Mormon literary scene. Her obituary in the SL Tribune says she was "a key figure on the Mormon literary scene" and an early voice for Mormon feminism. It also quotes Lavina Fielding Anderson on one of Sillitoe's novels that "made her the voice of a sisterhood taking both Mormonism and motherhood seriously." This all sounds very Mormon and I would be very surprised if she wasn't a church member. ——Rich jj (talk) 22:30, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Here are some sources I just found:
- Eugene England called her a "modern Mormon".
- Eugene England called her one of the "skilled Mormon poets" and said she writes from "a Mormon perspective".
- Maxine Hanks called her one of the "Prominent Mormon feminists".
- Sillitoe said writing about Sonia Johnson's excommunication "displaced my spiritual center from activity in the Church to the silent sense of a caring God who was indifferent to guilt, fertility, and hangups, but who occasionally let me glimpse the silver thread weaving through the fabric of my life." I'm not smart enough to glean all the meaning she intends, but could she have become a lapsed Mormon, at least for a time? ——Rich jj (talk) 22:51, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Here are some sources I just found:
- Issue 161 of Sunstone says she resigned from the LDS Church in the early 1990s. (128.187.97.4 (talk) 14:55, 6 May 2011 (UTC))
