"It is a common and usually constructive reality that there is tension between an organization and its intellectuals. Regardless of the institution-- governments, trade unions, churches-- there will always be tension. It is part of the larger world of conflict between intellectuals, who don't have to run the organization, and the people who do, who feel that independent thinking is a nuisance, especially when it doesn't support the established policy and programs. At some time, most members of the LDS church have experienced this tension, either as a dissenting intellectual or as a leader, or both. I will share some personal perspectives and strategies that help make this tension creative and constructive rather than wearisome and destructive." [Author]
