CES Letter Responses
"The CES Letter does not stand up to scrutiny. It is possible to confront each and every issue head on and come out with a strengthened testimony of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other side."
- Jim Bennett
The CES Letter compiles criticisms made by a former member, and a group of responders have provided detailed rebuttals to each point in the letter. Though not endorsed by the church, these responders have conducted extensive research and willingly offer their findings to anyone interested
"The CES Letter is a manipulative doubt bomb. It’s a volley of a thousand arrows, hoping that one hits something. The CES Letter hopes to simply overwhelm your senses with reasons not to believe, with little regard for accuracy or the strength of each argument."
-David Snell
